Subject: gentain violet


Hello all

I have heard that gentian violet was banned at the same time that new
antifungal drugs were being developed here.  There are LC here who are very
sceptical about the ban (you can no longer get it anywhere in Australia
although some vetenarians still have some).  I have also heard that the
research was very flawed - not unlike the domperidone ban for breastfeeding
that the US is experiencing. I have wished at times that I could locate some
(I have tried) as it still is reported to be far more effective and a tiny
fraction of the cost of the antifungals that we have.

I have not personally read or seen the research though the information came
from a reliable source.

cheers
