Is there another name for Triple Dye? I know what it's made of and what its for... I just was wondering if there is another name for it? Thanks!

Not aware of another name but this one, but here is the link to a thread discussing triple dye in detail that may help you:

Triple Dye is an antiseptic that is a generic that has been around a L-O-N-G time. If you are trying to find it in a drug book your best hope is to look at the websites on the other thread that SmilingBluEyes posted for you and break it down into its 3 components. As far as I know it is always made as Triple Dye. You might ask this question on the OB forum since this is a product that is primarily used on the baby's cord stump.

That other thread SBE mentioned covers the topic sufficiently, IMO!
