He has had tests run and told that he shows signs of zinc poisening. When he contacted Glaxo, he was told that in 1992, there was not any zinc in their product. Without some "old" polygrip, we really have no way to determine if that is true or not. If you or anyone else has any suggerstions on how to obtain some "old" polygrip, or the ingredents that it supposedly had back then, we'd love to hear them.
This information will certainly be disclosed during litigation of denture cream injury claims. You don't need to be a lawyer to know better than to believe anything they may have told your dad, then or now. Offhand I am not sure whether Poligrip contained zinc prior to 1992. If you would like additional information, please feel free to PM me.
