Physician's Materia Medica on Guaiacol
CREOSOTIDE
Creosote Iodide, a chemical combination of Iodine with the Guaiacol, Creosol and analogous bodies which are constituents of Beechwood Creosote. It is alterative and antiseptic, exerting a favorable influence over nutrition in wasting diseases. Wherever Iodine or Iodides are indicated, Creosotide may be prescribed.

GANGRENE
Bromine is the most e lcient escharotic; chromic acid and nitric acid are often used. Carbolic acid applied in full strength, followed by alcohol to limit its action, with subsequent dressing with Iodosyl has given excellent results. For cleansing, hydrogen peroxide is eflicient. Ichthyol and boric acid may be used in dressing, but Iodosyl is better. Internally guaiacol and creosote to guard against p yemia.1
