Much larger dose could be administered in this form, _e. g._, 0.0006
Gm. (gr. 1/100) per tablet.
_Caution:_--Only a small number of these tablets should be ordered at
one time.
Hyoscine hydrobromide 0.006 Gr.
Red fat sugar 18.00 Gm.
Triturate the hyoscine hydrobromide with red fat sugar, added in
portions, and compress in a tablet machine, using 5/16-inch die and
punches, to make one hundred 0.18 Gm. tablets.
Alternate Formula.
Hyoscine hydrobromide 0.006 Gm.
Carmine 0.50 Gm.
Spirit of cinnamon, 10% 0.20 Cc.
Fat starch 3.60 Gm.

Having thoroughly triturated the hyoscine hydrobromide with the sugar,
add spirit of cinnamon and the carmine, and triturate again until
the color is perfectly uniform. Then add the fat starch, triturating
gently and for a short time only. Compress in a tablet machine, using
5/16-inch die and punches, to make one hundred 0.18 Gm. tablets.
36. TABELLAE IPECACUANHAE ET OPII DULCES.

a tablet machine, using 3/8-inch die and punches, to make one hundred

it.
