Benzoyl-Pseudotropeine Hydrochlorate.—Colorl. cryst.—Sol. in water.—Succedaneum for Cocaine. According to Drs. Vamossy, Chadbourne, and others, tropacocaine is not half as toxic as cocaine.

Mydriasis does not always occur, and when it does, is much less than with cocaine. The activity of its solution is retained for two to three months. Tropacocaine may replace cocaine in every case as an anesthetic.—Applied in 3% solut., usually in 0.6% sodium-chloride solut.—[Further information in "Merck's Digest" on "Tropacocaine", containing clinical reports.]
