From BPC: Diarrhoeia
Primary indication is Tincture of Opium, (S.) Laudanum; Tinctura Thebaica.
Opium, № 7.5; alcohol, a sufficient quantity; distilled water, a sufficient quantity.
Make the opium into a paste by the addition of 25 of distilled water heated to about 94°, set aside for six hours, add 25 of alcohol, mix, and set aside for twenty-four hours; then strain off the liquid, press the residue, mix the liquids, again set aside for twenty-four hours, and filter. Finally standardise, and adjust the strength of the tincture, by the addition of a mixture of equal volumes of alcohol and distilled water, so that the finished product, which will measure about 100, shall contain 0.75 per cent. w/v of anhydrous morphine. Tinctura Opii contains the soluble matter of about 1 grain of opium in 15 minims. It is especially used in preference to the solutions of morphine to allay gastric and abdominal pain, in diarrhoea and dysentery, and wherever delayed absorption is desirable.
Dose.—3 to 10 decimils (0.3 to 1.0 milliliters) (5 to 15 minims) up to q.i.d, where for a single administration 1 1/2 to 2 mils (20 to 30 minims).
