| bismuth sodium triglycollamate | Sodium bismuth complex of nitrilotriacetic acid. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| bismuth subcarbonate | (BiO)2CO3;used for the same purposes as bismuth subnitrate, but has lower toxicity. Synonym: bismuth carbonate, bismuth oxycarbonate, bismuthyl carbonate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bismuth subgallate | Used internally in diarrhoea and externally as an astringent and protective dusting powder. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bismuth subnitrate | A basic salt, the composition of which varies with the conditions of preparation; used internally as an intestinal astringent and externally as a mild astringent and antiseptic; the metal is used as an electron microscope stain for nucleic acids. Synonym: bismuth oxynitrate. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bismuth subsalicylate | Used as an intestinal antiseptic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bismuth tribromophenate | Used externally as an antiseptic. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bismuth trichloride | BiCl3;addition of water results in formation of bismuth oxychloride. Synonym: butter of bismuth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bismuth triiodide | BiI3;used in electron microscopy to reveal synapses. Synonym: bismuth triiodide. (05 Mar 2000) |

| milk of bismuth | A suspension of bismuth hydroxide and bismuth subcarbonate in water; used in gastrointestinal disorders as a protective agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ammonium iodide | An expectorant. (05 Mar 2000) |
| radioactive iodide uptake test | A test of thyroid function in which 131I-iodide is given orally; after 24 hours, the amount present in the thyroid gland is measured and compared with normal values. Synonym: radioactive iodide uptake test, RAI test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glyceryl iodide | An organic form of iodine which slowly liberates iodine in the body after oral administration. Used primarily as an expectorant/mucolytic. Synonym: 3-iodo-1,2-propanediol, gamma-iodopropyleneglycol. (05 Mar 2000) |
| goiter, iodide | Just as too little iodine can cause thyroid disease, so may prolonged intake of too much iodine also lead to the development of goiter (swelling of the thyroid gland) and hypothyroidism (abnormally low thyroid activity). Certain foods and medications contain large amounts of iodine. Examples include seaweed; iodine-rich expectorants (such as SSKI and Lugol's solution) used in the treatment of cough, asthma, chronic pulmonary disease; and amiodarone (Cardorone), an iodine-rich medication used in the control of abnormal heart rhythms (cardiac arrhythmias).
