Acidum Salicylicum - ?????????? ???????? (Salicylic Acid) For medical use, Powder 20gr exp. date: 31.03.2017 exp. date: 30.10.2014 lot No. 081031 Salicylic Acid is a beta hydroxy acid derived from the bark of the willow tree. Beta hydroxy acids (BHA) is a larger molecule than their cousin, alpha hydroxy acids. The larger molecule size keeps the beta hydroxy acid on the surface of the skin allowing it to more effectively penetrate and exfoliate within the pore. This action within the pores make it an ideal exfoliant for use o?n acne and acne-prone skin. The larger molecule size of salicylic acid produces less irritation than alpha hydroxy acids, making it a welcome alternative for those with sensitive skin. Salicylic Acid is best on acne-prone and sensitive skin types. The pore-cleansing properties of salicylic acid make it a more effective comedone fighter. Those with sensitive skin who cannot tolerate alpha hydroxy acids may find that they are able to use salicylic acid with good results. However, alpha hydroxy acid's penetration into the deeper layers of the skin produce better anti-wrinkle and anti-aging benefits. BHA has the ability to penetrate into the pore (AHAs do not), and thus can exfoliate inside the pore as well o?n the surface of the skin; that makes it effective for reducing blemishes, including blackheads and whiteheads. Formula Hc7h5o3. Derivation Salicylic Acid is obtained by combining carbolic acid with caustic soda, and subjecting this compound to dry carbonic acid under the influence of heat, the portion of salicylate of sodium remaining behind after the carbolic acid distills over being saturated, in the form of a hot, aqueous solution, with muriatic acid, which liberates the salicylic acid in small crystals. The crystals are washed, dissolved in hot water, and by re-crystallization, obtained in the form of a powder of a light brown color, which is then bleached until it is quite white; but most of that sold is of a light cream-color with a reddish tinge. The coloring matter, however, which is present, does not interfere with its efficacy. It is sometimes obtained from the product of plants, such as wintergreen. It has no smell, a slight taste, and is soluble in alcohol and ether and in hot water and glycerine. It can also be obtained from salicin, the vegetable principle existing in willow, poplar, etc., and from oil of gaultheria (wintergreen) and from spiraea ulmariae (meadow sweet). Medical Properties And Physiological Action Salicvlic acid is a powerful antiseptic, and is said to be as effective in small quantities as any other antiseptic, in arresting putrefactive and fermentative processes. When properly reduced in strength it causes no pain or irritation in the parts to which it is applied. It will destroy minute organisms, and a small quantity will arrest vinous fermentation and prevent the decomposition of animal fluids. Although free from any poisonous action when administered in a reasonable quantity, yet in large doses it will cause nausea and vomiting. It is thought to combine with the soda of the blood, where it is present as a salicylate. It has little or no affinity for cold water; but the addition of certain alkaline salts, such as sodium phosphate, increases its solubility. Combined with sulphite of sodium, which is also antiseptic, and water, a solution is formed which is free from irritating properties and especially applicable to the treatment of zymotic diseases. Glycerine warmed will dissolve 1/50 its weight of salicylic acid, and the solution may then be diluted with water to any desirable extent. Therapeutic Uses It is employed in fevers as an antipyretic or febrifuge; also for the same purpose in acute rheumatism, pneumonia, phthisis, diphtheria, etc. Externally it is employed as a disinfectant and deodorizer, many preferring it, on account of its freedom from odor, to carbolic acid. It is also employed as a local application in eczema of the head and face, syphilitic ulcers, and to cancer, gangrenous and sloughing wounds, in the form of powder, and as an ointment for burns. Salipyrine Prof. Dr. von Hosengeil (Bonn, Germany) claims that the action of antipyrine in such cases of influenza which show no rise of temperature is that of a cardiac poison. Salicyl and quinine have also such action. By combining salicylic acid and antipyrine he claims to have found a preparation which he names salipyrine, which has proven itself to be a most excellent specific anti-influenzic remedy in just such cases. The dose he employs is from 15 to 30 grains. Dental Uses Salicylic acid is employed in the treatment of suppurating and gangrenous pulps of teeth, in the form of the dry powder introduced into the pulp canals and permitted to remain for several days. An ethereal solution of salicylic acid, introduced on a small piece of punk, has also been employed for the same purpose, where it is difficult to introduce the dry powder; the ether volatilizes in a few minutes. Salicylic acid is also employed with advantage in inflamed conditions of the mucous membrane of the mouth and gums, and in the treatment of aphthae, thrush and other ulcers, in the form of a solution. For such purposes its combination with powdered cassia or cinnamon, equal parts, is recommended, to be applied with a soft brush. Salicylic acid has also been found efficacious in all inflammatory conditions resulting from decayed and dead teeth and roots. It has also been recommended as a dentifrice, in the form of an alcoholic solution of the acid perfumed with oil of gaultheria; but its use for such a purpose is questioned, on account of its softening effect upon the tooth structure. As tannic acid interferes with the action of salicylic acid, these agents should not be used in combination.
