A preparation similar to that official in the Pharmacopeia of the
United States as liquid petrolatum has been included in many, if not
all, of the foreign pharmacopeias, the official titles under which this
preparation is recognized being as follows:
Petrolatum Liquidum, U. S. Pharmacopeia; Paraffinum Liquidum,
pharmacopeias of Great Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan,
Belgium, Austria, Denmark, Switzerland, Sweden, Servia, Italy, Hungary
and Russia; Oleum Paraffinae, Spanish Pharmacopeia; Vaselinum Liquidum,
French Pharmacopeia, and Oleum Vaselini (as a synonym) pharmacopeias of
Denmark and Russia.
The requirements of the several pharmacopeias differ somewhat and the
specific gravity as given is as follows:
U. S. P. VIII, 1905 0.870 to 0.940 at 25°
Ph. Brit. IV, 1895 0.885 to 0.890 at 15.5°
B. P. C. II, 1911, usually 0.875 or lower at 15°
Ph. Germ. V, 1910, at least 0.885 at 15°
Ph. Ross. VI, 1910 0.880 to 0.885 at 15°
Ph. Hung. III, 1909 0.88 to 0.89 at 15°
Ph. Ital. III, 1909 0.875 to 0.890 at 15°
Ph. Fr. V, 1908, about 0.875 at 15°
Ph. Serb. II, 1908, about 0.880 at 15°
Ph. Svec. IX, 1908 0.88 to 0.90 at 15°
Ph. Helv. IV, 1907 0.880 to 0.885 at 15°
Ph. Dan. VII, 1907, at least 0.880 at 15°
Ph. Austr. VIII, 1906, at least 0.880 at 15°
Ph. Belg. III, 1906, not below 0.880 at 15°
Ph. Japon. III, 1906 0.875 to 0.945 at 15°
Ph. Ndl. IV, 1905, not below 0.860 at 15°
Ph. Hisp. VII, 1905 0.840 at 15°
For pharmaceutical purposes, liquid petrolatum may be divided into two
grades, the lighter or more limpid oil, used extensively as a vehicle
for oil sprays, and the heavier, more viscid oil generally recognized
in European pharmacopeias and used as an ingredient of ointments and
more recently as a remedy in the treatment of intestinal stasis.
