Do you know the composition of "Stanford Lotio"?

Answer

I suspect that you are looking for the composition of the "Stanford" mouth rinse agent for mucositis. The composition reads: Tetracycline 1.25 g; Nystatin 1.2 million IU; hydrocortisone 50mg and water up to 100ml. Of course, at least a viscosities-increasing substance has to be added. I think that the tetracycline suspension, which is described in the booklet Galenic Formularium, can serve as a starting point for this preparation.
