Solution of Hypophosphites, N.F._--Calcium hypophosphite and potassium
hypophosphite (each 0.85%), sodium hypophosphite (0.22%), ferric
hypophosphite (0.44%) and manganese hypophosphite (0.22%), quinine
hypophosphite (0.22%), strychnine hypophosphite (0.007%) and potassium
citrate in orange flower water, glycerin and water.
USES: Complex and irrational mixture.
DOSAGE: 4 Cc. or 1 fluidrachm (N.F.).
_Syrupus Calcii et Sodii Hypophosphitum (Syr. Calc. et Sod. Hypophos.),
Syrup of Calcium and Sodium Hypophosphites, N.F._--Calcium hypophosphite
and sodium hypophosphite (each 3.5%), in sugar and water.
DOSAGE: 4 Cc. or 1 fluidrachm. (N.F.).
_Syrupus Calcii Hypophosphitis (Syr. Calc. Hypophos.), Syrup of Calcium
Hypophosphite, N.F._--Calcium hypophosphite (3.5%) in sugar and water.
DOSAGE: 4 Cc. or 1 fluidrachm (N.F.).
_Syrupus Hypophosphitum (Syr. Hypophos.), Syrup of Hypophosphites,
U.S.P._--Calcium hypophosphite (4.5%), potassium hypophosphite and
sodium hypophosphite (each 1.5%) in glycerin and syrup.
DOSAGE: 10 Cc. or 2-1/2 fluidrachms (U.S.P.).
_Syrupus Hypophosphitum Compositus (Syr. Hypophos. Co.), Compound Syrup
of Hypophosphites, N.F._--Calcium hypophosphite (3.5%), potassium
hypophosphite and sodium hypophosphite (each 1.75%), ferric
hypophosphite and manganese hypophosphite (each 0.225%), quinine
(0.11%), strychnine hypophosphite (0.0123%) and sodium citrate (0.375%)
in glycerin and syrup.
USES: Antiquated, complex and irrational "tonic."
DOSAGE: 8 Cc. or 2 fluidrachms (N.F.).
=Calcii Iodidum, Calcium Iodide.=
_Syrupus Calcii Iodidi (Syr. Calc. Iodid.), Syrup of Calcium Iodide,
N.F._--Represents calcium iodide (8.75%) in syrup.
USES: Superfluous, whether regarded as a calcium preparation
or as an iodide preparation.
DOSAGE: 2 Cc. or 30 minims
=*Calcii Lactas (Calc. Lact.), Calcium Lactate,
U.S.P.=--Ca(C{3}H{5}O{3}){2} + 5H{2}O.
White, odorless, practically tasteless masses or powder. Soluble in
water (1:20) and almost insoluble in alcohol.
ACTION AND USES: Used for the characteristic action of
calcium; less irritating and therefore better adapted to
hypodermic administration than calcium chloride (which
see).
DOSAGE: 0.5 Gm. or 8 grains (U.S.P.), in solution
=Calcii Lactophosphas (Calc. Lactophos.), Calcium Lactophosphate,
N.F.=--A mixture of calcium lactate and calcium acid lactate with
calcium acid phosphate.
White, odorless powder. Soluble in water; almost insoluble in
alcohol.
ACTION AND USES: Similar to but without advantage
over the lactate. Not adapted to hypodermic use.
DOSAGE: 0.5 Gm. or 8 grains (N.F.).
