Hi. I have been looking for lugol´s sulution here in mexico without success, I have found two substitutes.
One is:
1 gram iodine
2.5 grams potasium iodide
100 ml of vehicle (it doesn´t says what it is maybe alcohol or water I think)
This one is decolorized
The other formula is:
2 g Iodine
2.5 g potasium iodide
100 ml Vehicle (same story... it does not says what exactly it is)
I wanna stop using tincture because it has only iodine disolved in alcohol, I know the choices above could be better.
Could you help me to know what the vehicle (solvent) could be in the formulas and what do you think if I use one of them. The firts formula is almost lugol's but I'm not sure. Any advise?
Thanks guys.
