I'm not exactly sure why, but the same thing happened in Canada. While you can still get it at hospital pharmacies, most other places have stopped carrying it altogether. When I emailed my old supplier, the response I got back was that it was discontinued for retail sale in Canada and was no longer being imported. I did hear something about Calmoseptine being relabeled as a natural product, and that it is now regulated, but there is less zinc in it than many other OTC creams. Anyway, I'm able to order it from the US. My GI recommends it and when he worked in Belgium, he said the hospital there also ordered it straight from California.

Fazz,

I have mailed tubes of it to the UK before and would be happy to mail you some. All I ask is that in return you mail me my favorite lotion from Boots, which is not available here! If you're game, PM me with your address.

Can you order from US Amazon.com? That's were I buy it 6 tubes at a time. I think Mgmt 10 is the one that told me we get it cheaper than at retail pharmacies.

Fazz,

I now order mine from Blue Medical in the US, via their ebay store. I get the tubes in a 3 pack. I've ordered a couple of times now and I've been happy with the service. Shipping is reasonable to Canada; not sure about rates to the UK but you can certainly inquire. Here is the link:

Hello Spooky,

This Camoseptine cream is good for the butt crack area right? not to be so blunt but hey were all used to that kinda of talk here, that's the good thing....lol anyway couple of guestions? Does it stop itching and most creams I've tryed make you feel so wet back there an that's uncomfortable..can you tell my how it works for you please because I would love to find a cream that actually keeps me dry and stop itching from all the wiping an what not. Please share your opinion an or anyone else who has one?

Hi jwil44,

Don't worry about being too graphic. This is a forum about poop, after all!

Calmoseptine maybe won't help so much for itching, but it should help you with butt burn/irritation. I have tried many creams but I get instant relief from butt burn from Calmoseptine. I usually apply a thin layer and then dust a bit of baby powder over the top so that it doesn't transfer onto my clothing.

However, if itching is your problem, you may have yeast overgrowth, and in that case an antifungal cream or powder might be better for you. You can also try witch hazel wipes.

I am in UK and purchased Calmoseptine from Amazon UK- quite expensive but it has lasted a long time because a little goes a long way and it really seems to work overnight. It smells and feels like Germolene cream which is available in UK so I was thinking that I might get some of that to try when my tube of Calmoseptien runs out

@Spooky,


Thanks so much I will definately try the witch hazel wipes and yes I do think its a yeast thing...so aggravating I've had problems with that. I do want to try the Calmoseptine cream sounds like it might work good for the butt burn, I wonder if you can get it in Walgreens not sure if you have a Walgreens in Toronto or not or I do see the site to order it from.

I buy a bottle of Witch Hazel and apply it with folded TP or cotton. (You can use it on your face too.) I bought my last Calmoseptine, in a 6 pack on Amazon, for a cheaper price than by the tube price per tube.

Thanks so much TE Marie I cant wait to go get them on Saturday....
