Fowler's solution is a solution containing potassium arsenite that once was prescribed as a remedy or a tonic. A Dr. Fowler of Stafford, England proposed its use in 1786 as a substitute for a patented medicine, "tasteless ague drop." It was prescribed in the United States until the late 1950s for a range of ailments including malaria, chorea, and syphilis. In 2001 the U.S. FDA approved a proprietary formula of a solution of arsenic trioxide for acute promyelocytic leukaemia.
