Cod liver oil and honey tulle dressings

[henryhorn]

Some of you will have been recommended these by me for use on injuries, well today I went to restock after finishing the last tin and discovered the pharmacist had ordered some different ones.
The old ones came 32 to a tin, and cost around £13. The new ones just honey are one to a packet and cost £6.49 EACH...
The pharmacist can't or won't remember where he got the old ones, and my tin has gone in the bin..
If I ever gave you the details and you still have them would you mind pm'ing them to me please?
I'll try and buy them direct from the supplier if necessary, but obviously the cost of using them has gone up by a huge amount, plus I liked the cod liver oil in them..
many thanks.

Is it worth buying one of the new ones and seeing if it has ingredients listed? They are disallowed on the NHS now, which might account for the price rise. Try a pharmaceutical distributor perhaps? 32 at £6.49 would cost you over £207!!

Are these the ones - not sure how much they are, but we sometimes use them in the practice where I work - might be worth a call/Google!

I've bought a new one but it's nothing like the others, and the ingredients are just manuka honey as below post link..
CCj reckons she has stashed an empty tim somewhere so all I can do is hope she finds it and then contac the manufacturers.
Why they would ban the stuff is beyond me, I found that link too..
on the good side I found lots of trials they had done for honey treatments and they all came up as good. I just can't afford that price per dressing, I may as well use the vet stuff...
I suppose I could attempt to make my own, but keeping thm sterile maybe the hardest thing.

I'm sure the makers were M&M or something...

I don't think they are banned, just not available on the NHS any more, which will probably mean fewer are manufactured.

ooo i think these are the dressing things i had used on my injured finger last year - worked wonders!!! stitched hadnt even worked, i ended up having my wound cut more and these put on daily and hey presto - new finger!

isnt it a special kind of honey?? starting with a M?

have you tried online buying it from out of the country or from hyperdrug etc?

Yes i remember you recommending them HH.
Mum went off in search - friend runs a chemist.
The ones you describe are the only ones we get also

huge things very expensive. Thankfully i get some of the out of date ones (for free

) and they worked well on winstons bad cut before i got the camrosa.
