Yes. I'm basing this off a definition from the Medical Dictionary section of theFreeDictionary.com (http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/isopropyl+alcohol)

isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O)[ī′sōprō′pil]

a clear, colorless bitter aromatic liquid that is miscible with water, ether, chloroform, and ethyl alcohol. A solution of approximately 70% isopropyl alcohol in water is used as a rubbing compound. Also called avantin, dimethyl carbinol, isopropanol, 2-propanol, rubbing alcohol. See also alcohol.Mosby's Medical Dictionary, 8th edition. © 2009, Elsevier.
