STORAGE AND HANDLING SECTION.


STORAGE:. Store in the closed package at room temperature in dry place protected from light. Silver nitrate will oxidizeand turn dark brown upon exposure to light, however this does not affect the products potency or utility.Exposure to moisture can cause the tip to break or loosen from the applicator. Store away from vaporouschemicals.

CONTRAINDICATIONS SECTION.


CONTRAINDICATIONS. Silver salts stain tissue black due to deposition of reduced silver. The stain gradually disappears within period of twoweeks. Prolonged ingestion or absorption of silver compounds leads to deposition of silver in connective tissues, producinga slate-blue discoloration of the skin known as argyria. This discoloration may also appear on mucous membranes such asthe margins of gums. The sclera of the eye is also stained.

DISPOSAL AND WASTE HANDLING.


DISPOSAL:. Expired or unused applicators may be disposed of according to applicable federal, state and local regulations.

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION SECTION.


DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION:. Moisten the applicator tip with distilled, deionized or purified water and apply the silver nitrate to the affected areaby holding, rubbing, or rotating the tip along the affected tissue. The strength of the action is controlled by the dilution withdistilled, deionized or purified water. One silver nitrate applicator is generally sufficient for each application. The action ofthe 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 beenflushed/washed with saline prior to applying silver nitrate.
