Bgo
UpdatedMedication for cuts and burns
Searching to purchase BGO ointment. Has been used in my family for 50+ years. Great for skin problems. Please, where can I buy a case or more?
Sorry, I have no answer for you. this is an informational only site, this site does not sell or provide medications or other items.
I'm looking for BGO also- it's like it dropped off the face of the planet!! Please let me know if you find it.
THE COMPANY WAS SOLD AND LATER FORMULA DROPPED, BGO REALLY WORKED. IM STILL LOOKING MYSELF
9/08 I have looked for years to find the bgo ointment. My mother always had it on hand. It was in a small jar and she used it on her excema and other skin irritations. That was 60+ years ago so I guess that it is not available any longer.
I to am lookin for BGO i cant even find it via internet....its cause it actually worked
it was produced in Spartanburg, SC. I have one of the little containers that is about 3/4 full (i assume it is still good- there seems to be a date on the bottom-if it is indeed a date, i might want to reconsided 1-31-88). I have used it from time to time. it looks the same. it smells the same and it does still help.
PLEASE let me know if you find BGO ointment Pam
Michael says he has an old container. Can he read the ingredients? Maybe there is something similar out there. I can't find this discontinued product either.
If Michael can list ingredients a compound pharmacy can reproduce the ointment. Any help, Michael?
I also have been looking for BGO to buy. I have an old container and the box. It was distributed by a Calotabs Co., Inc. in Greenville, SC 29602..
I'm also looking for the famous and not found BGO cream. Please let me know if you can read the ingredients, or can find to purchase.
My mother still has her 1/3 full white (label has been long gone) jar. She got it from her mother, in Lexington, NC, and has had the same jar for over 30 years! It's a wonder ointment! Does anyone have a jar with a label listing ingredients? Also, we were always told BGO stood for Beamons Good Ointment - can anyone confirm? Thanks!
ANYONE: CAN ANYONE HELP ME FIND THE OINTMENT CALLED BGO? TINY, WHITE JAR OF ANTIFUNGAL, ANTISEPTIC SOOTHING OINTMENT FOR SKIN CONDITIONS...I KNOW IT WAS DISTRIBUTED BY CALOTABS, INC. IN GREENVILLE, S.C. BUT I CANNOT FIND ANY INFO ABOUT THIS COMPANY...CAN ANYONE HELP ME LOCATE AND PURCHASE SOME OF THIS OINTMENT? ANY ASSISTANCE WILL BE VERY MUCH APPRECIATED...DR. TED R. GEE
Calmoseptine ointment has the same ingredients as BGO. I have recently purchased and tried it. I discovered it worked as well as BGO for me.
I ask a pharmasist about the BGO ointment and he said he wondered if it was taken off the market because of the mercury content?
BGO was wonderful. Please let me know if you find any, I want to buy it, or anything similar.
While cleaning out my bathroom this afternoon, I just found a new bottle of BGO still in the box. I must have bought this bottle over 25 years ago. A friend from college used it all the time and she had beautiful skin. I'm glad that I also still have 1/3 of an old jar.
I am searching for BBGO, too. Mom used it for all types of things and it worked. I will check out the Calmoseptine ointment that Tim said has the same ingredients. I will let you know it works miracles like BGO.
I have used BGO for over 50 years and still have a couple of new jars. I have ordered in the past from Calotabs directly purchasing 2 boxes (24) jars at a time and now I understand they have gone out of business. Can anyone help me find more?

Re: tprice (# 3)
I bought BGO Ointment back many years ago at the Shaw drugstore there in Greenville S.C. on Poinsett Hwy. The store is now closed but it could of been a Rexall Drug back then. Rexall drugs are still in operation but I believe they to operate under another name. The product is an antiseptic/Antifungal Ointment used for many things. I to would like to find this item.
I found an old jar of BGO and I'm sure my great grand father has many more. {edited for privacy}
Did you ever get BGO or have you found an alternative ? My grandmother used it on all my chiggers , bug bites, and scrapes. I am 62 and I need some for my grandchild ! Thanks . Kathy
I am ordering the ointment that will be compounded with the same ingredients as BGO. I have to purhcase this in large quantites.
Well here I was thinking I was the ONLY person out here looking for BGO! Why hasnt a company picked up the rights for this miracle salve??? I have about 1/2 jar left that has traveled with me in my life that is about 45 years old!! It still is perfectly fine. I have tried tons of salves, oral presp. meds and old wifes tales etc. for my cold sores to no avail. One day i dared to put BGO on the sore thnking it would burn or irritate. WHAT a suprise it was. The BGO used overnite had almost dried up the cold sore and left it feeling moisterized without that nasty cracking that goes along with a cold sore. So- I guess I'll have to put my lil white jar under lock and key!!!
Baarb, since you have the ingredients, go to a compounding pharmacist to have the BGO ointment made.
