FYI: Desitin Cream

warning: para sa mga may baby lang (hindi yung nagbebeybi-beybihan)

A lot of mothers are stressed out, trying to look for Desitin Cream in drugstores and supermarket. Well, I still have 3 tubes at home, simultaenously being used by Pompy (depending on where she hits the need to change her diaper). But I jump at the bandwagon and joined the panic-stricken moms harassing every Mercury Drug and Watson's in manila area. Out of stock talaga!

Checking the packaging, Desitin Cream was imported by Pfizer in Makati. 2 buildings away from where I work. Ayus. Maybe they have stock at the office (maybe some employees still wear diapers, or have rashes, whatever... but I'm hoping they keep some desitin at their office). Tawagan ko muna. Sabi ng sales representative na nakausap ko, "Dati po Pfizer ang nag-iimport. Johnson & Johnson na po ngayon."

Oh no.

Google ulit. Ayoko maniwala. Ang Johnson & Johnson ba talagang nasa Paranaque? Maybe a stone throw away from where I live? Hehe OA naman. Pero di nga, kala ko ba palayan lang ang Paranaque???

Calling J&J... Manong guard ata ang sumagot. Trinansfer ako. This lady told me that yes, J&J is now importing Desitin from US. And it's out of stock because they stopped importing. Test is ongoing to further enhance(?) the product. The good news is, by May it will be available in the local market already. Promise daw.

That's just what I needed to know. Alleluia.

ps: I just realized I can be a hell of a stalker when i want to. behave, be aware and beware.

i did the same, called every mercury drugstore from qc to paranaque (where i live too), was able to buy 1 at mercury olives plaza branch, infront of dampa. I had it reserved and picked up on the same day.
