Marien-Apotheke Ichthyol Paste

This product is a pharmaceutical preparation, specifically an Ichthyol paste, customized and dispensed by Marien-Apotheke OHG. Unlike mass-marketed consumer brands, this is a pharmacy-prepared (magistral) formulation. The active ingredient, Ichthyol (pale sulfonated shale oil), has a long history in dermatology for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, originally discovered in Seefeld, Austria.

The manufacturing occurs locally at the pharmacy level in Neukirchen b. Hl. Blut, Germany. Because this is a specialty pharmacy product, the ultimate owner is the independent pharmacy itself, Marien-Apotheke OHG, managed by Dr. Gerhard and Dr. Dominik Kram. It represents the traditional German 'Apotheke' model where medications are compounded or repackaged specifically for patient needs under strict national pharmaceutical laws.
