About This Medication

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.
