I have a rx for anthralin, can't find it, is there somewhere where I can send rx and receive this?

Do you have a hosptial near where you live? Many times hospitals with outpatient pharmacies stock a wide variety of medications. Also, anthralin may be a name not familar to most because it isn't very common. There are a couple of brandnames that contain this medication:

Dritho-Creme HP 1% Topical Cream (11086-0037-01)
Dritho-Scalp 0.5% Topical Cream (11086-0035-01)
Psoriatec 1% Topical Cream (65880-0415-50)

If you supply this information to the pharmacies it may help them order it. Those numbers are NDC's, or National Drug Codes. Each medicine has it's own code.

Becuase I don't know the strength and formulation but the pharmacies maybe able to.

As far as internet pharmacies - I am always nervous about them. There are some legitmate pharmacies. If you have insurance, Try calling them and see if they have a mail order service.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
