Hi,

I did a little research on your question.  I can not find the exact
formula for the original denorex, however, I think I have some
informaiton that will help with your problem.  A visit to the denorex
website shows there are now 3 different formulas.  The denorex extra
strength is formulated with the salycilic acid, which apparently
irritates your scalp.  The Denorex everyday formula
(http://www.denorex.com/everyday.htm) is formulated with 2% pyrithione
zinc, and I would suspect this is the active ingredient you have used
in the past.  The product can be purchased at drugstore.com
(http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=44602&catid=11936&trx=29384&tab=0#0)

Drugstore.com will also ship internationally, including australia. 
You should visit this page for more info:

Please let us know if this has resolved your problem.  If not, maybe
you can give some additional info so we can get you the product you
need.

hi thanks for that info, however i was aware that there was a zinc
formula available.
the original denorex i used was a coaltar prep with menthol and a herb
scent.  it was called mountain fresh.  i had used coaltar preps here
but they were very drying and left my scalp like a mini snowstorm. 
the denorex on the other hand was gentle enough touse every day and
cleansing enough for me to be able to wear dark siuts without looking
like i had been in the snow.
i really need that old formula.
thanks for trying
