The formula of the skin product pHisoderm recently changed for the
worse.  Where can I find a case of the old version to buy?  The NEW
product code, for the one I don't want, is 41167 52602 on a green
bottle in 6 fl oz size.  The OLD bottles, which I want, were white,
had no product code, and came in 5 oz and 16 oz.

Hello,

I called Chattem, INC, the maker of Phisoderm to ask them your
question.  Unfortunately, they told me that it simply is no longer
available.  He said they discontinued it about a year ago, and it is
no longer available.

I searched for pHisoderm on google and found the product web page.  I
looked around on that until I found a phone number for the
maker/distributor.  The number is 1-877-698-8006.  I spoke to a
representative at extension 500.  He was very helpful.  But, he was
also very firm that it is no longer available.

Sorry about that.

The product web page is

Hi.  After reading your response, I went back on line looking for
distributors.  I have sent out a bunch of emails to various
distributors to see if I there are any old bottles available.  First,
I made certain that they didn't take the old phisderm off the shelves.
 The person I spoke to in the warehouse said that they sold most of
the left over old phisoderm to individuals.  Probably people like you
who preferred that version.  Unfortunately, unless you are paying a
lot of attention, you don't realize that they are about to take a
product you like off the market.

I will let you know about the email response.

I assumed the manufacturer would say it is unavailable.  I was hoping
someone would call around and find a case of the stuff for me at some
retailer.  Maybe that was asking too much.

Do you have an old bottle?  On some bottles there are phone numbers
you can call to get product information.  In the past, I have called
these number for products that were discontinued.  They told me that
if it is discontinued, the best they could suggest was to got to
stores and aske them if they have large stocks of the product.
