A question about aqueous cream?

I%26#039;m originally from the UK, and used aqueous cream to relieve my excema symptoms. It has worked fine, and leaves my skin smooth and unirritable. Unfortunately I have run out, and my excema has flared up! and I have no way to get it, save asking relatives back home to send it to me. Does anyone know where I can buy aqueous cream in any US pharmacy, or have it shipped to me (not from uk, defeats the purpose)...OR if there is a comparable product?! Thanks guys!|||I don%26#039;t know the specific answer to your question, but if you go to any drug reference, like the PDR (Physician%26#039;s Desk Reference) it lists every pill on the market, I don%26#039;t know if this is just American labels. If so, you would have to go to a comparable British source and look up your medicine.





The reason is that every med is known by both a generic or chemical name (that everyone goes by, usually derived from Latin), and its brand name (which changes according to company, and maybe in your case, by the country of production). Acetaminophen, for example, and Tylenol are the same medicine. Diphenhydramine is Benadryl. You may not always know that off the top of your head, but you can look it up.





This is also similar to the naming of plants and animals...all living things have a Latin name, related to their classification in their kingdom of beings. Then they have the name people use in their own language. So...cat and gato...are both united by the Latin word Felis....and none of them really seem to point to each other but that%26#039;s the way it is. It%26#039;s so we all have a common terminology for certain things. Like animals, plants, and medicine.





First look up the name you know in the british source. Then look at that entry to find the common name. Then go to the PDR and look up the chemical name to find out how the different American companies have marketed it. Then go to a doc here, tell them you use that med with great results at home, and need a prescription for it. They should be happy to oblige.
