Jack Newman's nipple cream

Has anyone used it?  The lactation consultant recommended it for cracked nipples.  Haven't talked to my OB about it yet- they're closed for the day.  The LC said I might have to call around to find a pharmacy that would mix it for me.  Which sounds a little odd.

  • It's awesome! The LC suggested it to me when I got mastitis and had major cracked nipples. I noticed healing w/in days of using it. Don't let the idea of it needing to be mixed scare you. I had to get it through the hospital pharmacy instead of my regular pharmacy too because the hospital was the only one in the area that would mix it up. It's a bit expensive if you don't have insurance to cover it but it's totally worth it!

  • This sounds like something you'd order from an informercial. I hope it works.

  • It's amazing!  It saved me with DS.  I was literally healed in a day or two.  Walgreens should know how to do it.

  • It's amazing. And yes, a compounding pharmacy has to mix it for you because they won't substitute on the ingredients. One of the ingredients isn't usually carried at CVS, etc. 
  • I haven't personally used it but it has been recommended to me by public health nurses and friends.  You can find more info here:

    And from the bottom of the page:

    "You can find a list of compounding pharmacies in Canada and the US and maybe some other countries by going to the website iacprx.org. Click ?For Patients, Pet Owners? in the red box on the left side of the page, then click ?Finding a Compounding Pharmacist Near You?. You will need to sign in and then you can find your nearest compounding pharmacy."

  • I haven't noticed it make any difference.  I got it at a compound pharmacy.  There are MANY in my area so I didn't have to go far.

  • I was given this for Thrush and I'm still using it and it seems to be helping at least a little. My pharmacy had to send it to be mixed at another pharmacy so it took an extra couple days to get it.
