WHO's definition, quoted as written in the 2024 stem book
Names only. This page is about bol as a part of a name. It has nothing on uses, doses, side effects or interactions of any medicine that carries it, and nothing here is medical advice. Ask a pharmacist or doctor about the medicine itself.

Where it sits in a name
