Answers:
Benzyl alcohol is used as a bacteriostatic preservative at low concentration in intravenous medications.
It is oxidized rapidly in healthy individuals to benzoic acid, conjugated with glycine in the liver, and excreted as hippuric acid.
High concentrations over long periods of time can result in toxic effects including respiratory failure, vasodilation, hypotension, convulsions, and paralysis.
