Compound Benzoin Tincture USP
 Product
Description
Compound Benzoin Tincture USP (CBT) is
a botanical product derived from plants of the family Styraceae.
Benzoin producing plants are small to medium trees growing in tropical
Asia. Benzoin is a pathological product formed when the tree trunk
is injured. It is produced by incising the bark and collecting
the exuded resin after it hardens on exposure to air and light.
Benzoin is an ancient drug that has had more different Latin titles
and synonyms since its origin in the 15th or 16th century than
any other official preparation. Benzoin contains esters of cinnamic
and benzoic acids together with free acids. Amounts and types of
esters vary with its source. CBT is prepared by mixing benzoin
with aloe, storax, and Tolu Balsam. Alcohol is used as the menstruum.
Indications
• Skin Protectant- CBT is
widely used as a skin protectant, and is particularly effective
for ulcers, bedsores, cracked nipples, and fissures of the lips

• Respiratory Treatment- CBT relieves
respiratory discomforts when added to vaporizer fluids used for
inhalation.
• Dental Uses- CBT is used in dentistry
to treat oral herpetic lesions and inflammation of the gums.
