Formula 3242-2: Inhalant
 
DESCRIPTION
    This is an inhalant for respiratory relief.  It contains: eucalyptus oil, tincture of benzoin, and turpentine oil in an antiseptic grain alcohol base.

PHARMACOLOGY
    The inhalant vapors help the lungs and respiratory passages throw off excess mucus.  They penetrate deeply into throat, nasal and bronchial passages to purify and balance sensitive tissue, remove infection, prevent spasmodic conditions and clarify breathing.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE
    This formula is a stimulating expectorant and decongestant for hay fever, asthma, sinusitis, bronchitis, coughs, colds, and all respiratory problems.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
    No known contraindications.

CAUTION
    Accidental inhalation of liquid will irritate mucous membranes.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
    When ready to use, shake bottle and inhale the fumes (not the liquid), using a breathing tube.  Insert the tube at least one inch into the bottle to get the full effect of the fumes, and inhale gently through the nose and/or mouth.  For increased effectiveness, hold fumes in lungs for 20 seconds before exhaling.  Use this inhalant two or three times daily, or as often as needed.  If symptoms persist, consult a physician.
