Ethacridine lactate is an acridine derivative with antiseptic properties. It has been used topically for wound irrigation and as a disinfectant, and formerly for the induction of abortion (second-trimester termination) in some countries. Nowadays, its use is rare and mostly limited to topical antiseptic applications; it is not widely approved or used as a systemic agent.
No published pharmacokinetic (PK) studies or established PK parameters are available for ethacridine lactate in humans. The following are rough estimations based on physicochemical properties, class analogy, and limited case reports.
