Borax is the basic raw material for preparing boron-containing compounds, and almost all boron compounds can be prepared from borax. They have important and extensive uses in metallurgy, steel, machinery, military industry, cutting tools, papermaking, electronic tubes, chemicals, textiles and other sectors. In medicine, borax is used for disinfection and preservation of skin and mucous membranes, treatment of fluorosis, tinea pedis, pulpitis, candidal vaginitis, cervical erosion, bedsores, acne, external auditory canal eczema, herpes virus skin diseases, epilepsy, and for the treatment of tumors.

Pharmacological Action

1. Antibacterial effect It has been reported that borax is a weak base, and it has a weak antibacterial effect like boric acid. Using the plate method to make the culture medium contain 10% borax, it has an inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, anthrax bacteria, Shigella flexneri, Shigella dysenteriae, Salmonella typhi, Salmonella paratyphi, Proteus, Staphylococcus, and Candida albicans; using the paper strip method, it has been proved that borax can also inhibit diphtheria bacteria, bovine Brucella, Pneumococcus, meningococcus, and hemolytic streptococci.

2. Anticonvulsant and anti-epileptic effect experiments have shown that borax has an anticonvulsant effect when administered to mice at 130mg/kg to 260mg/kg. This effect gradually increases with the increase in the number of administrations, and the maximum anticonvulsant effect occurs about 1 week after administration. Injection administration can accelerate the production of its anticonvulsant effect. Intraperitoneal injection of 260mg/kg can counteract electric convulsions, and its counteraction rate is 100%. In combination with other anti-epileptic drugs, borax can quickly control epileptic seizures and status epilepticus.

3. Other effects Borax also has the function of preservation and protection of skin and mucous membranes. Clinically, this product can be used to wash ulcers and abscesses, especially mucosal inflammation, such as conjunctivitis, gastritis, etc. Because it is alkaline, it can remove dirt from the mucous membrane; it can be used orally for urethral sterilization, especially when the urine is acidic, it can make it alkaline.
