pure extract of glycyrrhiza in water.
DOSAGE: 8 Cc. or 2 fluidrachms (N.F.).
_Trochisci Ammonii Chloridi (Troch. Ammon. Chlor.), Troches of Ammonium
Chloride, U.S.P._--Each troche contains ammonium chloride (0.1 Gm.) with
extract of glycyrrhiza, tragacanth and sugar, flavored with syrup of
tolu.
=Ammonii Citras, Ammonium Citrate.=
