I need a distributor for ibuprofen cream


Posted by Scott R on 6/15/00 at 15:48
I need someone who can find and contact the german manufacturer of the ibuprofen (dolgit) cream and get shipments past customs and not worry about being harassed by the FDA about selling it. I would direct the customers and provide the web page programming. Any suggestions?

I'm contacting the FDA to find out the legalities and also checking into other brands of ibuprofen creme. Does anyone know what the contents are of the Dolgit Creme? I'm looking for a less-expensive brand with identical compounds.

As long as it is FDA legal, you should be able to compound in the u.s. in any pharmacy that does that sort of thing, once you know the ingredients.

A pharmacy told me they required a prescription.

Scott...I have a few pharmacist friends...I'll ask
them about it.

Do you remember Suburban Pharmacy...it reminds me of
a place where they would "make" it for you. I know they
"made" the best diaper rash creme known to man...haha

I'll let you know if I find out anything worthwhile...

Scott,
I have several boxes now since my family vacationed in Germany. I'll
try to have my neighbor read the box for ingretients. In the mean
time there is a small lab in Grand Rapids Mi called Jamark Laboratories 4345 Scwkaw Dr. N.E. They manufacture and distribute a cream for one of my Drs. Maybe they will take this one on? Their phone number is 616 447-0448 P.S. There is no insert in the box.

Oh, I guess that's so. Good luck figuring this out. If you are just looking for a company to distribute, rather than put heelspurs.com in jeopardy (understandable), then perhaps mine could do it since I have nothing to lose. I wouldn't need web support. It would just have to be legal or very close to that. Unfortunately I don't know anything about importing but perhaps I could learn. Let me know if I can help.

I never tried the creme but I did order it, though it never was sent. I'm probably past the stage where I need it, but it must be really good if you are going to all this trouble for it. Thanks! And let me know...

I've found 3 supliers in the UK of ibuprofen cream. An important question for me is "can I resell it in the U.S. legally?" My current supplier seesm to be doing that, but I need to know the details. I'm trying to contact FDA to find out, maybe even get a letter of approval.
