Ibuprofen Powder

Have you thought of contacting a company that makes ibuprofen tablets and ask them for a small sample, or ask them where they buy theirs?

Thanks Admin

I'll try that ....most of them might want me to open an account with them though

I could try & ask one of my ex-colleagues in Belgium: as extemp compounding is a lot more common there, wholesalers usually stock "raw" ingredients in 100g-tubs, and every Pharmacy I've worked in in Brussels has always had dispensary shelves full of pots & jars of all sorts of ingredients... one even had a part-used bag of dried coca-leaves (PhEur?) in the CD cabinet!

That would be immensely helpful Zoggite, although I am not too sure about the coca leaves .....isn't that supposed to be a source of good old opium as in coca leaves from Peru . I have tried the states on the internet, I am waiting for some prices

Ahem!
Pharmacognosy for Dummies, lesson One: Opium comes from the Opium Poppy, Papaver Somniferum, Papaveraceae; Coca leaves (Erythroxylon Coca, Rubiaceae)give us cocaine...

As for the ibuprofen: I'll get the Grapevine going tomorrow & let you know how I get on! What quantity would you be needing? 10 grams? 100grams? other?

When working at May & Baker at Dagenham in 1954 they extracted coca leaves. Just a chain across the entrance to the plant and leaves were blowing about everywhere.
