Uses
INDICATIONS AND USAGE: For cauterization of skin or mucous membrane and for removing warts and granulated tissue.
Dosage
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION: Moisten the applicator tip with distilled, deionized or purified water and apply the silver nitrate to the affected area by holding, rubbing, or rotating the tip along the affected tissue. The strength of the action is controlled by the dilution with distilled, deionized or purified water. One silver nitrate applicator is generally sufficient for each application. The action of the silver nitrate can be stopped by washing the area with saline solution (0.9% sodium chloride). Using saline solution to wet the applicator tips, or residual saline from wound flushing/washing will interfere with the action of silver nitrate resulting in cauterization failure. Only use distilled, deionized or purified water to wet applicator tips.
Warnings
WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS: WARNING: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. The active ingredients are poisonous and may be fatal when ingested in sufficient doses. The symptoms include toxic gastroenteritis, which may lead to coma, convulsion, paralysis and profound alteration of respiration. If poisoning occurs, immediately consult a physician. WARNING: DO NOT USE ON THE EYES. In case of eye contact, hold eyes open and immediately flush thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes and consult a physician. CAUTION: SILVER NITRATE IS A CAUSTIC SUBSTANCE. Chemical burns may result from inappropriate use of product. • Wear chemical resistant gloves while using this product. Wear other appropriate personal protective equipment as needed. CONTRAINDICATIONS Silver salts stain tissue black due to deposition of reduced silver. The stain gradually disappears within a period of two weeks. Prolonged ingestion or absorption of silver compounds leads to deposition of silver in connective tissues, producing a slate-blue discoloration of the skin known as argyria.
Storage
STORAGE: Store in the closed package at room temperature in a dry place protected from light. Silver nitrate will oxidize and turn dark brown upon exposure to light, however this does not affect the product’s potency or utility. Exposure to moisture can cause the tip to break or loosen from the applicator. Store away from vaporous chemicals.
