Use
Thymol is a phenolic antiseptic, which has antibacterial and antifungal activity. however, it is not suitable for use as a preservative in pharmaceutical formulations because of its low aqueous solubility. the antimicrobial activity of thymol against eight oral bacteria has been studied in vitro. inhibitory activity was noted against almost all organisms, and a synergistic effect was observed for combinations of thymol and eugenol, and of thymol and carvacrol. The inhalation of thymol, in combination with other volatile substances, is used to alleviate the symptoms of colds, coughs, and associated respiratory disorders. externally, thymol has been used in dusting powders for the treatment of fungal skin infections; thymol has been shown to have synergistic antifungal effects when combined with ketoconazole. thymol was formerly used in the treatment of hookworm infections but has now been superseded by less toxic substances. in dentistry, thymol has been mixed with phenol and camphor to prepare cavities before filling, and mixed with zinc oxide to form a protective cap for dentine. thymol has been included in food, perfume, and cosmetic products, and has also been used as a pesticide and fungicide.
