Sarna lotion

I read in a reply to another post that Sarna Lotion may be of use in relieving itchy legs. I live in the UK and am unable to find this product, is there a brand name equivalent avaialble in the UK that you are aware of?

Best regards

Keith.

Sarna contains 1/4% menthol and camphor in a moisturizing lotion base.  If this combination does not exist as a commercial formulation, a phramacist (chemist) can mix it up under a doctor's recommendation.

Best.
