 * Please do not merge pages simply because they are stubs or have information repeated elsewhere. This chemical compound is different than the compound present in Dettol and thus, should remain its own notable article. Remember (talk) 14:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

About the daily dose....
In my memory, this should be addressed either in drug specification or in compendial pharmaceutical monographes --222.67.215.44 (talk) 07:45, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

It is also manifested on drug labels --222.67.215.44 (talk) 07:55, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Why were my edits undone?
Medicated Vaseline was around for decades and the new nano-version of PCMX is thousands of times more potent than normal PCMX. Why wouldn't that info be valid? Look how short this article is to Chlorhexidine's. There's hardly any useful info in it and all you guys want to talk about on here is Dettol, which isn't even sold in the states. And why would you call my edits "spam"? If anything, you're engaged in an attempt to promote Dettol and merge these two subjects as if they've got some patent on PCMX. -Reticuli 66.178.144.85 (talk) 07:58, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Well, they did invent it...151.170.240.200 (talk) 05:35, 28 April 2020 (UTC)


 * According to the handbook of disinfectants edited by Joseph M Ascenzi: Reckitt did not invent it. James.folsom (talk) 20:02, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

Dipping cookers and plates in Chloroxylenol
It is highly toxic when the habit of dipping cookers and plates in Chloroxylenol is regular. It may create severe effect of poisoining and burns in gut. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.214.77.171 (talk) 18:46, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

History
The second paragraph of that section refers to the history of the creation of the Dettol brand. PCMX is still called PCMX. I'm going to move it to the Dettol article. Any objections? James.folsom (talk) 20:06, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Major edits coming
I had the pleasure of working with PCMX, and learning much about it. So I should be able to fix this article up. Right now it's just random information barely strung together. I've already rearranged some content that wasn't with the right heading. I have not removed anything.

Next I will add material and create a natural flow of the existing material. I think the only thing that I will remove is the TMI on cane frogs. Simply linking the cane frog article should suffice. I will strive to make the article about the chemistry, uses and properties of PCMX the molecule. I will endeavor to locate other articles on specific drug products that use PCMX and try to have them complement each other.

If anyone wants to collaborate let me know. I will be here for a two week stint starting now. James.folsom (talk) 22:43, 19 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm finding that information on the antimicrobial properties and toxicology of chloroxylenol are collected from studies that used Dettol antiseptic liquid as the test material. This is of course due to the practical matter of the water solubility of this compound.But it leaves me questioning what info to use in these sections, as Dettol ASL has other ingredients that may affect the properties of PCMX. I push this off to later and maybe others, and will try to add some PCMX specific info to the article. James.folsom (talk) 18:49, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
