APPLICATIONS

Bithionol, a halogenated form of bisphenol, is a bacteriostatic agent. It is used as an algicide, antihelmintic, agricultural fungicide. It is active as a anti-infective and anti-platyhelmintic. It is used as a medicine in the treatment of clonorchiases. It is used as an ingredient in deodorants, shampoos and surgical soaps. Banned by the FDA for use in cosmetics as it can cause skin allergy to sunlight. Bithionol is used as an anthelmintic.
