Why Me Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 What's a good reasonably-priced antiseptic cream for cuts and wounds? Garamycin is effective but at 120b. for a tiny tube is way expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 A local produced alternative: GRAMMIXIN But does not look overly cheap, saw 85 Baht for 10 gr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 check on cetylphyridinium chloride. you can get cosmetic grade at 7b/g and make your own cream. That 1g makes some 500g of cream. But also as spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorry Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 11 hours ago, xylophone said: Fucidin is available in large tubes and is not expensive. OP thinks 120 is expensive. Maybe he is used to Ukrainian prices? The mentioned creams are mostly antibiotics and shouldn't really be put on wounds (exception Fucidine). Thais use Betadine, it's cheaper and better. Is also available as cream but too expensive for OP (i think 130). Best is medical honey, not avalable in Thailand and really expensive (about 400).

Sheryl Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Why use a cream at all? Buy generic povidone iodine (equivalent to betadine). Cleanse the wound, apply, let dry. Costs well under 100 baht for a bottle that will last months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 My go to is also Betadine, just started a new 30cc bottle, don't know how much it is as she bought it yonks ago, but the smaller one we had for close to 10 years ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Nothing Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I have been applying urine to all my cuts and wounds the last few years with excellent results, head and shoulders above the overpriced pretenders. Pain stops immediately. Healing time is much quicker without any hint of infection. Mlitary survival training introduced me to this procedure in which you simply apply urine to the wound. There are no side affects or lingering odor. A little mouthwash bottle can be filled up for convenient application when required. It also works on mosquito bites, burns, bee stings, sun burns.

gargamon Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 There's a betadine ointment I use religiously. Last jar I bought was 110 baht for 50 grams. This stuff is magic. I don't use bandaids anymore. Just put a bit of this in the small cuts a couple of times a day and a few days later all healed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
