It is usually administered in the form of a mucilage - Mucilago Acacia, British Pharmacopoeia, and United States Pharmacopoeiamade from small pieces of Gum Acacia dissolved in water and strained (1 in 8.75). Dose in syrup, 1 to 4 drachms of the gum. Mucilage of Acacia is a nearly transparent, colorless or scarcely yellowish, viscid liquid, having a faint, rather agreeable odor and an insipid taste. It is employed as a soothing agent in inflammatory conditions of the respiratory, digestive and urinary tract, and is useful in diarrhoea and dysentery. It exerts a soothing influence upon all the surfaces with which it comes in contact. It may be diluted and flavored to suit the taste.
