Heavy, bluish-black, brittle plates, with a metallic l.u.s.ter, a distinctive odor and a sharp, acrid taste. Very slightly soluble in water (1:2950) and soluble in alcohol (1:12.5). Freely soluble in solutions of alkali iodides.

ACTION AND USES: The tincture and compound solution are used externally as local irritant and antiseptic. The irritant action can be easily graduated by successive application.

It is rarely used internally for the systemic effects of iodides.

_Petroxolinum Iodi (Petrox. Iod.), Iodine Petroxolin, N.F._ (Iodine Petrox 10%).--An unstable preparation, containing iodine, ammonium iodide and other iodine compounds in variable proportions, with a mixture of liquid petrolatum, alcohol, ammonium soap and oil of lavender; prepared from iodine (10%) and liquid petroxolin.

_Petroxolinum Iodi Dilutum (Petrox. Iod. Dil.), Diluted Iodine Petroxolin, N.F._ (Iodine Petrox 5%).--An unstable preparation containing iodine, ammonium iodide and other iodine compounds in variable proportions with a mixture of liquid petrolatum, alcohol, ammonium soap and oil of lavender; made from iodine (5%) and liquid petroxolin.
