Materia Medica de A a Z

MERCURIUS IODATUS RUBER = MERCURIUS BINIODATUS (merc-i-r)

Again, if in a Merc. patient with diphtheria, tonsillitis, etc., the inflammation and pain begin on the left side, and incline to remain there or spread to the right, the bin-iodide is indicated.

These two iodides have more rapid and greater induration beneath ulcers and chancres than Merc, and in old syphilitics the iodides are sometimes more useful.
