Terpin, used as the hydrate (terpin·H2O), is an expectorant, used to loosen mucus in patients with bronchitis and related conditions. It is derived from sources such as turpentine, oregano, thyme, and eucalyptus. It was used in the United States in the late nineteenth century, but was removed from marketed medications in the 1990s after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) found a lack of evidence of safety and effectiveness.[1] Elixirs of terpin hydrate are still avail...

To help you sleep or relax ## Did you mean Chloral Hydrate? It had limited use as a sedative and hypnotic. It is not commonly used, anymore, but it once was a popular medication to use. The FDA warns that it did carry the risk of being habit forming, and may cause nausea, dizziness, headache, and drowsiness, as side effects. Are there any questions?

I have a deep, recurring cough that only this medication has been able to stop in the past. I know the FDA banned it and the infuriating reasons why. I would like to know if there is anywhere I can purchase it today. ## Hi Kelly - did you ever find Turpin Hydrate ? My Mom use to give this to us back in the 70's & early 80's for cough/cold.

A friend of mine is giving chloral hydrate to her 8 month old child because of insomnia and apparant night terrors. It is my understanding that this is a very dangerous sedative and should not be given to children without RN supervision. Is this true?? ## Well the monograph does list a certain dose as safe for use in children, however, it is virtually impossible to say that an 8 month is having night terrors and you should NEVER give any prescription drug to a child without doctor's approval and monitoring. This is a very dangerous drug and giving it to a child that young, who is still developing could cause disastrous effects. Not to mention the fact that if this was prescribed for her, or someone else and not the child, then what she is doing is illegal and could be considered chi...

Where can you get turpin hydrate elixer for mucous relief? ## From what I've read, the FDA banned terpin hydrate back in the mid-1980's. Apparently the reasoning behind this ban was that they were never able to prove it's effectiveness. However, contrary to their opinion on the medication's efficacy, I think many people would still agree that it works better than a lot of the stuff on today's shelf. Have you tried any other approaches for mucous relief in the meantime? They say ginger root is also good for breaking up phlegm and mucus from the respiratory tract...but mixing it with lemon juice and raw honey can be beneficial as well; at least from my own experience. I hope this helps! ## Wonderful news! Turpin hydrate is NOT banned, although it's no longer carrie...

The name chloral hydrate indicates this is a hydrate, but the systematic chemical name indicates it is not, but that it is a diol. However, it is not usual for an organic compound to have 2 hydroxyl groups on the same carbon atom without splitting out water. What is the correct situation here?

How much alcohol is in chloral hydrate mixture 1g (1000mg) / 10ml? I am currently taking Antabuse for a drinking problem I had - obviously, I'm reluctant to take it if there is anymore than a minimal amount in it. ## I use to take Chloral Hydrate but they don't get it anymore where I live in Michigan and that really helped me! Our local hospital has it but won't sell it even with a prescription and I wonder if anybody knows where I can get it? They said it's only used for patients in the hospital which to me doesn't make any sense! I don't know why they won't fill it with my prescription.

I used to be prescribed Chloral Hydrate for sleep which helped, but I now get generic Lunesta, which doesn't really help, cuz I heard C.L.is discontinued. What's the closet to CL. Sleeping pill that I can get prescribed instead? ## Hello, AzunCuties! How are you? I'm very sorry that the Lunesta isn't working for you. You may want to speak to your doctor about trying Triazolam, it is a benzodiazepine that's most commonly used to treat insomnia. It carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability. Does anyone else have any suggestions? ## Thank u for your fast response! I'm very impressed. I honestly didn't really expect a answer back, especially so soon. So thanks again for helping to pu...
