Andres1511 Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 *sniff* *sniff* I think 98%. No, we can't smell that.Normally pharmacy grade should have a very high purity grade, but just ask the pharmacy where you bought your sulfur. 1

Arthur Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 Sulphur is used in horse veterinary treatments. Usually pharmacy chems are very pure and hence very expensive, 1
nater Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 What is sulfur even used for pharmaceutically?It has antibiotic and antifungal properties and is used in various skin treatments. It is also used as a compound in many drugs; magnesium sulfate, ferrous sulfate, and others. There is a large class of sulfa drugs, many are different antibiotics and allergies are common. 1
BurritoBandito Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I know that some sulfates have their medicinal uses (magnesium sulfate is considered a "saline laxative"), but have never seen sulfur itself sold in a pharmacy. Granted, I never looked for it either. Sorry Diorakal, I'm not trying to derail your thread, just got curious.
GMetcalf Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I'm the UK Sulphur is only used as an element as a part of various tar preparations used to treat psoriasis. Usually in the region of 4%.
nater Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 (edited) Mag Sulfate as an IV solution is also used to convert a lethal cardiac dysrhthymia to something which can perfuse oxygen through the body. It can help treat seizures and hypertension in a pregnant woman and help slow down contractions in preterm labor. We can also use it in addition with other drugs for certain respiratory emergencies. You are not likely to find Sulfur on the shelf at a pharmacy, you might have to ask the tech or the phamacist. Not all pharmacies offer compounding services for custom prepared drugs, so it may be harder to find there. Edited May 6, 2015 by nater

otto Posted May 6, 2015 Posted May 6, 2015 I would expect anything truly sold in a pharmacy to be about as pure as you could get. Somebody selling something as "pharmaceutical grade" may or may not be delivering what you expect depending on the source. Back in the 60's you could find KNO3 and sulfur on the shelf in many drug stores. Never even had to ask for it. Then it disappeared behind the big counter. Then you had to sign for it. Now, it's not worth the effort. Lots of other reasonable sources for quality chems.
