Physician's Materia Medica on Iodosyl
IODOFORM
Alterative, antiseptic, local anodyne. Not now much used inter nally except occasionally for its anodyne effect. Largely employed in surgery, but is being superseded by Iodosyl, q. v., which has the great advantage over Iodoform that it has no objectionable odor. Dose, 0.06 to 0.30 Grm. (1 to 5 grs.).1

IODOSYL
An organic chemical compound containing a little more than 655 of Iodine; empirical formula, C7H4O3I2. An amorphous powder, non toxic and free from irritant action, yet having antiseptic properties that make it invaluable in surgery. It may be used wherever iodo form is now employed with effects at least equally satisfactory. The results obtained with it in treating ulcerations of the cornea are par ticularly gratifying. It may be given internally as a gastric anti septic, in doses of 0.03 to 0.1
