What is Aplisol syrup?
Aplisol is an injectable formulation of purified tuberculin (PPD), used for tuberculosis screening. It is not sold or used as an oral “syrup” product in standard medical references.
Is there actually an “Aplisol syrup” (or could the name be a mix-up)?
People sometimes look for “Aplisol syrup” when the intended product is different, such as:
- Another tuberculosis testing product name (e.g., PPD products) given by injection rather than by mouth.
- A compounded or misremembered product name from a local pharmacy listing.
- Confusion with a different brand that sounds similar.
If you share the label details (manufacturer, strength, active ingredient, and whether it says PPD/tuberculin), I can help identify what it really is.
How is Aplisol typically used?
Aplisol (PPD) is used for TB skin testing (Mantoux method). It is injected under the skin and read for reaction size after a set number of hours, not taken as a syrup.
What should you do if you were prescribed “Aplisol syrup”?
- Do not take a tuberculin injection orally.
- Check the prescription label for the route of administration (usually “intrader mal/injection” for PPD).
- Call the prescriber or pharmacy to confirm the exact product and route before using anything.
