The Dosage of Plasmochin

To the Editor, The Indian Medical Gazette Sir,?The importers of the French anti-malarial remedy Gametoxyl have lately issued an advertisement pamphlet giving a resume of a paper by Dr. E. Charron, Paris, on anti-malarial preparations. The author compares at the end of his paper Plasmochin Compound with Gametoxyl, referring particularly to the time of treatment and the amount of medicament required for a complete anti-malarial treatment. In his statement he mentions that the daily dose of Plasmochin Compound amounts to 12 to 16 tablets of the drug and that the total number of tablets required for a complete treatment lasting six weeks is 328 tablets. Although the above dosage refers to our old, discarded tablets containing TVth grain Plasmochin and ljth grain quinine sulphate, this dosage would be decidedly dangerous, and we should be greatly obliged if you would issue a warning in your esteemed journal against using the dosage mentioned by this writer.
