This is why Sudacrem has tripled in price …

[HKARJ]

Sudacrem price riseI went to buy Sudacrem cream recently and saw that the price for a 400g pot was x3 more expensive than my last purchase!

A quick Google reveals :

Supermarkets do their own brands, much cheaper, not sure if as good?

I have pica when I get low iron. Could it be that causing his?

I've only ever used it for baby bums or burns. We've gotten through quite a few big tubs with 8 kids over the years

Agree, it's not moisturising at all, more a thick coat for healing. X

This. Like a plaster.

@KatRee The only thing that worked for mine and my child's persistent eczema (a year long bad outbreak, tried everything, steroids made worse) was coconut oil. Put it on morning and night for a few weeks and see if it helps. It cleared ours up in about a month and it didn't return. It's antibacterial, antifungal and makes you smell delicious!

Yup, babies and now big babies, dogs, horses and even the geese have been known to have a dose 😅

Ditto. I used an American ointment called A+D, which was made of fish oil. It worked marvelously. I used only one tube of it from 1990 to 2003.

Ha ha yes we still have half a pot and my son is 14. He now uses for spots and swears by it. Brilliant stuff.. I'm.sure the pot will outlive me

Like Vaseline- do people even buy that?

I like the 24 hr cream but I don’t like the smell

Me too - although after reading this thread I'm wondering if I still have some Sudocrem hanging around.

Quite brilliant 👏👏

@Loobieloogold @moodybluehpc and everyone else who has used it on their dogs - is it not dangerous if the dog tries to lick it off ?

😂

That's a daft reason not to buy it..

Irish born, now owned by an Israeli company.

We still have a huge pot that I got from Costco when dd1 was born 7 years ago. I now use it on dd2.

All the time.

It is owned by Teva, but still made in Ireland. According to their website, it's made by Tosara Pharmaceuticals . I looked them up and they have premises in Cork and Dublin.

Nothing to do with price hikes etc, but I always had a special designated pot of sudacrem for my tiny dwarf bunny who was allergic to mites that live in hay. Poor chap 🤦‍♀️ I washed and dried all of his hay, but sometimes they still got him, he'd pull all of his chest fur out and have horrible boils, which I would then slather in sudacrem (and occasionally make him a special jumper out of an old woolly sock)

He is Autistic his last set of bloods his iron levels where good. We give him vitamins with iron in them. One thing that was anbonrmal was his thyroid but they hoping that will correct itself without treatment.

That doesn't explain the price hike.

I've got some Bepanthen lying around. Any recommendations for uses other than nappy rash? X

I probably have mine somewhere too 😂 mine is nearly 19...
