Overview
for Simplified Silver Nitrate Therapy ARZOL Silver Nitrate Applicators provide a simple and convenient means of treating small lesions of the skin and mucous membranes. On contact with living tissue, silver nitrate acts as an escharotic. Deep action is avoided by the formation of a dense surface film of coagulated albumin. Silver nitrate is a powerful chemical germicide. Despite precipitation, it retains substantial germicidal potency even in the presence of large quantities of albuminous material, possibly by gradually redissolving the silver.

Indications & Usage
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 & Administration
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.
Warnings & Precautions
SIDE EFFECTS Silver nitrate blackens the tissues to which it is applied but this discoloration gradually disappears. In the case of applicators, poisoning from ingestion is rare.
