Phenol

Drug Index

Phenol (also called carbolic acid) is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C6H5OH. It is a white crystalline solid that is volatile. The molecule consists of a phenyl group (−C6H5) bonded to a hydroxy group (−OH). Mildly acidic, it requires careful handling because it can cause chemical burns.

I am looking for a phenol cream 1.5% last distributed by Lanvin-Charles of the Ritz, Inc. in New York, NY. My jar is almost empty. ## Hi Linda, Is there any chance you might be referring to a lotion or cream called "SARNA" which contains: Camphor 0.5% + Menthol 0.5% + Phenol 0.5% (totaling 1.5%)? If so, from what I've heard, this product was taken off the market because Phenol was not considered a good product to be included in a lotion. I don't know the validity of this claim or if it's available in any other countries, but apparently these three ingredients mentioned above are widely available in the form of chapstick ointment/lipbalm, from other brands like Blistex. I would consider looking into that option even further if this is something that could still work f...

I want to know if Y-Lax produced by Bakson has any side effects? How long can it be taken? Does it become addictive for people above 70 yrs of age? ## Although most homeopathic preparations tend to have little to no side effects, I did find info stating that "the symptomatic adverse reactions produced by Phenolphthalein are more or less tolerable and if they become severe, they can be treated symptomatically, these include Abdominal cramps, Skin RashX, Eruptions, Colic, Erythema multiforme, Epidermal necrolysis." "The signs and symptoms that are produced after the acute overdosage of Phenolphthalein include Diarrhea, Pulmonary edema, Hypoglycemia, Pancreatitis." Regarding your concerns about addiction, this is not an addictive medication. Also, due to the nature of this ...

Have been through food & environmental checks at Cornell Companion Animal Hospital; used specially formulated injections on a monthly schedule; used various sprays & lotions rubbed on the area recommended by our vet and none of this has worked! My husband was prescribed this compounded formulation for a severe skin itching problem and this cleared completely. Want to know if this would be safe to use on our dog? ## Hi Joy Liese, Based on my research, Betamethasone dipropionate can effectively treat itchy rashes and other inflammatory skin conditions in animals. A regular dosage of .25 to 0.5 milliliter per 20 pounds of body weight is usually recommended, but the dosage may depend on how seve...

It was originally prescribed by a skin specialist.

Feen-A-Mint was originally formulated with White Phenolphthalein when it was first introduced about 110 years ago. Then in the 1930's it got reformulated to Yellow Phenolphthalein. Originally available as a chewing gum laxative, over the years it also got manufactured in other forms such as chocolate mint "cookie" and pills (which also contained Docusate Sodium). Today, Feen-A-Mint is formulated with Bisacodyl for the North American market and with Sodium Picosulphate for other countries. ## Just wanted to say thanks for sharing the background of Feen-A-Mint. I understand this is a type of laxative, however I'm also curious to know how others with personal experience might feel about its efficacy in comparison with each respective country's version of Feen-A-Mint (e....
