    I have been to several phamacies, but they never sell it.
    Where could I buy Potassium permanganate? Only several grams.
    Thanks

    Pharmacies would be glad to sell it if they could get it, but they can't.
    A long time ago (20 - ish years) we could get it. Then, a tablet version of it was brought out, so at that point they stopped supplying it loose. Now, the tablet version is no longer a licensed product, so now it's not available either.

    Thanks Locum-motion, Sourcing this sort of thing has always seemed problematic. I find if a pharmacist can't find it then it's not going to be easliy obtained.
    I recall lecturers I has recommending it for some skin conditions but can't say i've come accross it being used recently.

    Is it going on the restricted list here or is that just in the States? I remember reading about it and pseudoephedrine being considered for curtailment but I never heard the continuation of what happened.

    Try camping shops, lots of uses for outdoor enthusiasts. It's a standard item in a survival kit.
