ACTION AND USES: Hypochlorites in acid, alkaline and neutral solutions have been found useful in the treatment of infected wounds. The alkaline solution is represented by the Liquor Sodae Chlorinatae below, and by the Liquor Potassae Chlorinatae, which see under Potassa Chlorinata.

_*Liquor Sodae Chlorinatae (Liq. Sod. Chlorinat.), Solution of Chlorinated Soda, U.S.P._ (Labarraque's Solution).--Chlorine compounds of sodium containing not less than 2.5 per cent. available Cl.

=Sodii Acetas (Sod. Acet.), Sodium Acetate, U.S.P.=--NaC{ 2}H{ 3}O{ 2} + 3H{ 2}O.

Epitome of the Pharmacopeia of the United States and the National Formulary — Part 153

Colorless crystals or granular powder, odorless or nearly odorless, and having a cooling, saline taste. Very soluble in water (1:0.8) and soluble in alcohol (1:19).

ACTION AND USES: Practically identical with those of Potassii Acetas, which see.

=Sodii Arsenas (Sod. Arsen.), Sodium Arsenate, U.S.P.= (Arsenas Sodii, P.I.).--Na{ 2}HAsO{ 4} + 7H{ 2}O.

Colorless, odorless crystals, efflorescent in dry air, and somewhat deliquescent in moist air. Freely soluble in water (1:1.5) and slightly soluble in alcohol.

ACTION AND USES: Has the same general action and uses as arsenic trioxide, but is less active.

DOSAGE: 0.005 Gm. or 1/12 grain (U.S.P.). Usually given in the form of solution or pill.

_Sodii Arsenas Exsiccatus (Sod. Arsen. Exsic.), Exsiccated Sodium Arsenate, U.S.P._--Na{ 2}HAsO{ 4}.

White, odorless, amorphous powder. Freely soluble in water (1:3.1), but only slightly soluble in alcohol.

DOSAGE: 0.003 Gm. or 1/20 grain (U.S.P.).

_Liquor Sodii Arsenatis (Liq. Sod. Arsen.), Solution of Sodium Arsenate, U.S.P._--Exsiccated sodium arsenate (about 1%) in water.

USES: No advantage over other arsenicals.

_Liquor Sodii Arsenatis, Pearson (Liq. Sod. Arsen. Pearson), Pearson's Solution of Sodium Arsenate, N.F._ (Liquor Arsenicalis Pearsonii).--Exsiccated sodium arsenate (0.1%) in water. Should not be confounded with Liquor Sodii Arsenatis, U.S.P., which is ten times stronger.

=*Sodii Benzoas (Sod. Benz.), Sodium Benzoate, U.S.P.=--Na(C{ 6}H{ 5}.COO).

White, odorless, sweetish powder. Freely soluble in water (1:1.8), and soluble in alcohol (1:61). Incompatible with mineral acids and ferric salts.
