INDICES> phenol injection?
-------------------------------------

Greetings!

We have a query from a doctor who is attending to a spinal injury 
patient with muscular spasm which generally responds to baclofen. He 
wants to inject phenol in glycerin or phenol in arachis oil/almond 
oil. We know about phenol 5% or 10% in oil for varicose veins or 
hemmorhoids but would like to know if anyone has any knowledge of 
phenol for this purpose. There's a little in an older Martindale and 
little on drugdex/medline.

Anyone have information?

Thanks
Good wishes
