Uses
INDICATIONS On the skin, applications of silver nitrate are recommended for cauterization of wounds and sluggish ulcers, also for removal of granulation tissue and warts. On mucous membranes, silver nitrate may be applied to small ulcers and aphthae in the mouth resulting from injury or stomatitis, to infected tonsils, to rectal fissures and fistulae, and to vaginal or cervical ulcerations or erosions. Epistaxis may be controlled by direct application to the site of hemorrhage within the nostrils.
Dosage
APPLICATION ARZOL may be applied direct to mucous membranes and other moist surfaces. In the case of dry skin, the applicator tip should be dipped in water immediately before use. Apply carefully to the area to be treated. DO NOT USE ON THE EYES.
Side Effects
HAZARDS Long continued applications to large areas may produce argyria, a slate-blue discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes.
Warnings
WARNING: Keep out of reach of children. Keep in dry and dark place. Do not use on the eyes.
Storage
STABILITY PRECAUTIONS Light causes the silver in the tip to oxidize and turn brown in color. This does not affect the therapeutic action of the tip and the oxidized film readily dissolves when dipped in water. Moisture has a deteriorating effect on the tip. It will cause the tip to break or loosen from the applicator; therefore the applicators should be kept in a dry and dark place.
