Characteristics

Parotidinum has been used as a prophylactic against infection by mumps. In this instance it is generally given in the 6th or 30th two or three times a day to those exposed to infection. In the disease itself it may be given every four hours, either by itself or alternated with other indicated remedies. The wellknown complications which sometimes occur with mumps, cerebral inflammation and orchitis suggest its possible use in these conditions.
