Chinaphenin, CO (NH·C_{6}H_{4}OC_{2}H_{5}) (C_{20}H_{23}N_{2}O_{2}) =
C_{20}H_{33}N_{3}O_{4}, the quinine carbonic acid ester of phenetidin.
Actions and Uses.—Chinaphenin combines the antiperiodic properties of
quinine with the analgesic power of phenacetin, with the advantage of
tastelessness and asserted freedom from symptoms of cinchonism produced
by the administration of the two remedies in simple mixture. It is
recommended in febrile diseases, especially la grippe; in spasmodic
conditions, such as whooping-cough; in certain forms of malaria and in
neuralgia. Dosage.—Adult: 0·3 to 0·6 gramme (5 to 10 grains) ordinarily,
1·5 to 2 grammes (22 to 30 grains), given in two doses as an antipyretic
in neuralgia and malaria; in whooping-cough: 0·13 to 0·3 gramme (2 to 5
grains), according to age. Manufactured by Farbenfabriken, vorm. Friedr.
