=Soda Chlorinata, Chlorinated Soda.=
ACTION AND USES: Hypochlorites in acid, alkaline and
neutral solutions have been found useful in the treatment
of infected wounds. The alkaline solution is represented
by the Liquor Sodae Chlorinatae below, and by the Liquor
Potassae Chlorinatae, which see under Potassa Chlorinata.
_*Liquor Sodae Chlorinatae (Liq. Sod. Chlorinat.), Solution of
Chlorinated Soda, U.S.P._ (Labarraque's Solution).--Chlorine compounds
of sodium containing not less than 2.5 per cent. available Cl.
=Soda cum Calce (Sod. c. Calc.), Soda with Lime, N.F.= (London
Paste).--Sodium hydroxide and calcium oxide (each 50%).
ACTION AND USES: Caustic.
=Sodii Acetas (Sod. Acet.), Sodium Acetate, U.S.P.=--NaC{2}H{3}O{2} +
3H{2}O.
Colorless crystals or granular powder, odorless or nearly odorless,
and having a cooling, saline taste. Very soluble in water (1:0.8)
and soluble in alcohol (1:19).
ACTION AND USES: Practically identical with those of
Potassii Acetas, which see.
DOSAGE: 1 Gm. or 15 grains (U.S.P.).
=Sodii Arsenas (Sod. Arsen.), Sodium Arsenate, U.S.P.= (Arsenas Sodii,
P.I.).--Na{2}HAsO{4} + 7H{2}O.
Colorless, odorless crystals, efflorescent in dry air, and somewhat
deliquescent in moist air. Freely soluble in water (1:1.5) and
slightly soluble in alcohol.
ACTION AND USES: Has the same general action and uses
as arsenic trioxide, but is less active.
DOSAGE: 0.005 Gm. or 1/12 grain (U.S.P.). Usually
given in the form of solution or pill.
_Sodii Arsenas Exsiccatus (Sod. Arsen. Exsic.), Exsiccated Sodium
Arsenate, U.S.P._--Na{2}HAsO{4}.
White, odorless, amorphous powder. Freely soluble in water (1:3.1),
but only slightly soluble in alcohol.
DOSAGE: 0.003 Gm. or 1/20 grain (U.S.P.).
_Liquor Sodii Arsenatis (Liq. Sod. Arsen.), Solution of Sodium Arsenate,
U.S.P._--Exsiccated sodium arsenate (about 1%) in water.
USES: No advantage over other arsenicals.
DOSAGE: 0.2 Cc. or 3 minims (U.S.P.).
_Liquor Sodii Arsenatis, Pearson (Liq. Sod. Arsen. Pearson), Pearson's
Solution of Sodium Arsenate, N.F._ (Liquor Arsenicalis
Pearsonii).--Exsiccated sodium arsenate (0.1%) in water. Should not be
confounded with Liquor Sodii Arsenatis, U.S.P., which is ten times
stronger.
USES: Superfluous arsenic preparation.
DOSAGE: 2 Cc. or 30 minims (N.F.).
=*Sodii Benzoas (Sod. Benz.), Sodium Benzoate,
U.S.P.=--Na(C{6}H{5}.COO).
White, odorless, sweetish powder. Freely soluble in water (1:1.8),
and soluble in alcohol (1:61). Incompatible with mineral acids and
ferric salts.
ACTION AND USES: Has the action of benzoic acid, but is
less irritating. Mild antiseptic, practically non-toxic.
DOSAGE: 1 Gm. or 15 grains (U.S.P.).
=Sodii Benzosulphinidum (Sod. Benzosulphin.), Sodium Benzosulphinide,
U.S.P.= (Sodium-Saccharin, Soluble Saccharin).
