What Is Calmoseptine and How Does It Work

Calmoseptine is a combination ointment containing zinc oxide, menthol, petrolatum, and lanolin. Zinc oxide and petrolatum act as skin protectants that form a barrier against moisture, while menthol provides temporary relief of minor itching and discomfort. Its labeled use is temporary relief of local itching, discomfort, and pain or burning in the perianal area, and temporary protection of irritated skin; it's also commonly used to protect skin from urine, stool, wound drainage, or feeding-tube site leakage, and for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns.

Saving on Calmoseptine With a Coupon

Because Calmoseptine is sold over the counter, insurance typically doesn't cover it, and cash prices can vary a lot by pharmacy and package size. Comparing prices across pharmacies before you buy is the best way to save. Rx.com compares cash prices at thousands of pharmacies so you can find the lowest price near you — just enter your ZIP code above.

Alternatives and Comparisons

Calmoseptine is often compared with other zinc-oxide skin protectants, such as plain zinc oxide diaper-rash pastes, and with petrolatum-based barrier ointments. Products containing only zinc oxide and petrolatum (without menthol) may be a better fit for people who find menthol irritating on broken or very sensitive skin. Ask your pharmacist which barrier ointment best matches your skin's needs.

  • Stop use and ask a doctor if the condition worsens, if symptoms persist for more than seven days, or if bleeding occurs.
