Calcium hypophosphite

Green label: SUBSTANCE TO BE STORED SEPARATELY – CODEX 1908
Handwritten label, pen inscription, neat calligraphy, with its thick and thin strokes.
Indicating to the pharmacist that it must be stored separately from other substances in the cabinet for toxic substances, the famous ‘poison cabinet’.
At the time, this substance was mainly used to treat tuberculosis (known as consumption in those days), rickets, or as a general tonic.
Although not a deadly poison, ingesting large quantities of calcium hypophosphite can cause digestive problems or calcium imbalances.
But above all, hypophosphite is also a chemically unstable substance. It is susceptible to oxidation and, under certain extreme conditions such as high temperatures, it can release flammable phosphorus vapours. Storing it ‘separately’ was therefore also a physical safety measure for the dispensary.
