Phenol Ph. Eur. (Crystals)
Phenol, also called Carbolic Acid is a popular antiseptic and is available in pure crystals form as well as highly concentrated solutions.
Historically it was used in the production of Carbolic Soap. Concentrated liquid form is used in a medical procedure known as a chemical matrixectomy of ingrown toe and finger nails or topically as a local anesthetic for otology procedures, such as myringotomy and tympanotomy tube placement.
Phenol spray, usually at low conentration phenol, is also used to help soar throat.
