indicaciones terapéuticas:

INDICATIONS:  For cauterization of skin or mucous membrane and for removing warts and granulated tissue. 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. This discoloration may also appear on mucous membranes such as the margins of gums. The sclera of the eye is also stained.

INDICATIONS AND USAGE:
INDICATIONS: For cauterization of skin or mucous membrane and for
removing warts and granulated
tissue.
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. Blot dry
wounds that have been flushed/washed with saline prior to applying
silver nitrate.
DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS:
Stick: 70 mg
