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.
Salicylic Acid, Sulfar (precipitated), Zinc Oxide, Phenol, Calamine, Menthol, Petrolatum, Lanolin, and Mineral Oil
calmoseptineointment.com or 1-800-800-3405
How do you get calmoseptine? Is this a pharmacy obtainable thing??
I loved BGO. The little jars lasted forever. I have an almost empty one that I have had for over 40 years (probably why they went out of business). I, too, have found Calmoseptine to be almost the same. Doesn't smell quite as good, but works well.
BGO antiseptic, antifungal, soothing ointment
Contains, Iodoform, Salicylic acid, Sulphur (Precipitated). Zinc Oxide, 1% Phenol (liquified). Calamine. Menthol. Petrolatum, Lanolin and Mineral Oil.

Desperately looking for BGO!
I asked a compound pharmacist about making BGO. I was advised that I had to have a prescription for it by a pharm tech (GA). Is it really this hard to have an alternative to neosporin? Im so sad. I feel ridiculous calling in a prescription for something to cover scrapes and minor skin irritations etc. Can this be easier?
I bought a box of BGO about 8 or 9 yrs ago and I am running out and I bought it from Greenville SC. I am now needing more gecause my children took most of mine and my son wants some to put in his Christmas stocking. HELP ME FIND It.
i understand that - i want the container as a gag gift for my sister. it is a very long story, but if you have an empty container you don't need i would love to get it from you.
Becky, the container won't help because the product isn't being made anymore. See my posts.
Do any of you have an empty container I could buy? My grandmother used this on everything when i was growing up. I have not been able to locate the product, but if i could get the container / box it would be appreciated.
Barb, I think we are out of luck. Roy thought he had found a solution but it's not the same. Hopefully, a pharmacist will see our desperation and make it for us. I will keep you posted.
