Enemas, alcohol

Enemas These are available as solutions (aqueous or oily) as well as suspensions for rectal administration of drugs for cleaning, diagnostic, or therapeutic effect. Lotions These are available as solutions and suspensions to be applied topically without friction. They may either contain humectant, so that moisture is retained on the skin after application, or alcohol, which evaporates quickly imparting a cooling sensation to the skin. [Pg.994]

Creatine, a nitrogenous compound found naturally in the body, is an inhibitor, and is a known anticancer agent, for example, as used with urea in a nuxture called Carbatine. [Pg.105]
