FERROPYRINE.  ANTIPYRINEFERRIC  CHLORIDE.     ANTIPYRINA  CUM  FERRO. 
Ferropyrine,  (CnH12N20)  3.(FeCl3)2,  is  a  compound  of  antipyrine 
and  ferric  chloride,  containing  about  36  per  cent,  of  ferric  chloride 
and  64  per  cent,  of  antipyrine. 
Actions  and  Uses. — It  is  hematinic,  hemostatic,  astringent,  anal- 
gesic and  tonic.  Its  styptic  action  is  pronounced  and  said  not  to 
be  accompanied  by  irritant  effects.  According  to  Fraenkel,  it  com- 
bines with  its  hemostatic  properties  the  injurious  by-actions  which 
limit  the  application  of  ferric  chloride  as  a  hemostatic.  It  is  recom- 
mended internally  in  anemia,  chlorosis,  gastric  and  intestinal  hemor- 
rhage, intestinal  catarrh,  etc.,  in  migraine  and  neuralgia.  Exter- 
nally it  is  applied  in  gonorrhea,  epistaxis,  hemorrhages  from  the 
throat  or  vagina,  or  bleeding  after  tooth  extraction,  etc.  Dosage. — 
0*3  to  I  gramme  (5  to  15  grains)  in  powder,  with  sugar  and  pepper- 
mint, or  in  solution.  Externally  I  to  1-5  per  cent,  solution  as 
injection,  to  20  per  cent,  solution  or  pure  for  hemorrhages.  Manu-
