indicaciones terapéuticas:

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.

----------
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: 50 mg
