Abstract
WE have received from the British Drug Houses, Ltd., London, N.I, leaflets describing their preparations of liver for use in the treatment of anaemia and their preparation of oastrin called “CEstroform”. For the treatment of pernicious anaemia, there is available liver extract in the form of a powder or in solution for oral or parenteral administration: the former two are pharmacopoaial preparations; the latter is issued in 1 c.c. ampoules, each equal in anti-anaemic activity to 50 gm. fresh liver. CEstroform is a standardised preparation of ketohydroxycestrin and is issued in ampoules for intramuscular or subcutaneous injection and in tablets for oral use, each ampoule or tablet containing 1,000(international) units. CEstroform is of value in certain disorders of menstruation, in the vomiting of pregnancy and in prematurity of infants.
