Heptaldehyde Sodium Bisulphite

Heptaldehyde sodium bisulphite is exceptionally effective in inhibiting the growth of, or killing pathogenic fungus infection of the skin and particularly, the fungi of the genus Trichophyton which are responsible for tinea pedis.
Heptaldehyde sodium bisulphite is an effective fungicidal and fungistatic agent against the dermatophytes responsible for common rnycotic infection even at lower concentrations.
Heptaldehyde sodium bisulphite is nontoxic to humans and lower animals and non-irritating to the skin
Heptaldehyde sodium bisulphite is effective over a wide range of pH.
Heptaldehyde sodium bisulphite can be incorporated into the standard types of ointment bases.
Heptaldehyde sodium bisulphite may also be used in the form of a dermatologic dusting powder by combining them with a diluent powder consisting substantially of talc, fullers earth or other inert natural diluent powders.
Heptaldehyde sodium bisulphite can also be used as a dusting powder in its undiluted state.
Heptaldehyde sodium bisulphite can be incorporated into a 70% aqueous ethyl alcohol solution to the extent of 5%
Heptaldehyde sodium bisulphite is non-volatile and therefore, is retained longer on the surfaces where it is applied.
