Medicine -- Formulae, receipts, prescriptions; Pharmacopoeias -- United States
_Liquor Iodi Phenolatus (Liq. Iod. Phenol.), Phenolated Solution of
Iodine, N.F._ (Liquor Iodi Carbolatus, N.F. III, Carbolized Solution of
Iodine, Boulton's Solution, French Mixture).--Compound solution of
iodine (1.5%), liquefied phenol (0.6%), glycerin and water. The iodine
combines with the phenol.
USES: Antiseptic.
_Petroxolinum Iodi (Petrox. Iod.), Iodine Petroxolin, N.F._ (Iodine
Petrox 10%).--An unstable preparation, containing iodine, ammonium
iodide and other iodine compounds in variable proportions, with a
mixture of liquid petrolatum, alcohol, ammonium soap and oil of
lavender; prepared from iodine (10%) and liquid petroxolin.
_Petroxolinum Iodi Dilutum (Petrox. Iod. Dil.), Diluted Iodine
Petroxolin, N.F._ (Iodine Petrox 5%).--An unstable preparation
containing iodine, ammonium iodide and other iodine compounds in
variable proportions with a mixture of liquid petrolatum, alcohol,
ammonium soap and oil of lavender; made from iodine (5%) and liquid
petroxolin. Absolute alcohol content about 19 per cent.
_Syrupus Iodotannicus (Syr. Iodotan.), Syrup of Iodotannin, N.F._--Made
by combining iodine (0.27%) with tannic acid (0.54%) in syrup. Contains
iodine probably in the form of an iodide.
USES: Similar to those of potassium iodide; without
advantage over the latter.
DOSAGE: 4 Cc. or 1 fluidrachm (N.F.).
_*Tinctura Iodi (Tr. Iodi), Tincture of Iodine, U.S.P._--An alcoholic
solution of iodine (about 7%) and potassium iodide (about 5%). Absolute
alcohol content about 83 per cent.
DOSAGE: 0.1 Cc. or 1-1/2 minims (U.S.P.).
_Tinctura Iodi Decolorata (Tr. Iod. Decolor.), Decolorized Tincture of
Iodine, N.F._--A solution of sodium iodide and ammonium iodide obtained
by mixing iodine and sodium thiosulphate (each 8.3%), stronger ammonia
water (6.5%) and alcohol. Absolute alcohol content about 75 per cent.
Does not contain free iodine.
USES: For external use; of doubtful utility.
_Tinctura Iodi Fortior (Tr. Iod. Fort.), Stronger Tincture of Iodine,
N.F._ (Churchill's Tincture of Iodine).--Iodine (16.5%) and potassium
iodide (3.3%) in water and alcohol. Absolute alcohol content about 65
per cent.
_Unguentum Iodi (Ung. Iodi), Iodine Ointment, U.S.P._--Iodine (4%) and
potassium iodide (4%) in glycerin and benzoinated lard. Should be made
as required.
=*Ipecacuanha (Ipecac.), Ipecac, U.S.P.= (Ipecacuanhae Radix, P.I.).--A
root, yielding not less than 1.75 per cent. of alkaloids.
ACTION AND USES: Used as irritant, nauseant, expectorant
and emetic. Also specific against amebic dysentery,
but in this use has been practically displaced by emetine.
DOSAGE: Emetic, 1 Gm. or 15 grains (U.S.P.). Expectorant,
0.06 Gm. or 1 grain.
_*Fluidextractum Ipecacuanhae (Fldext. Ipecac.), Fluidextract of Ipecac,
U.S.P._--Ipecac (100%), yielding about 2 per cent. of alkaloids.
Absolute alcohol content about 30 per cent.
DOSAGE: 0.05 Cc. or 1 minim (U.S.P.).
_Pulvis Ipecacuanhae et Opii._--See under =Opium.=
