Indications
Uses Caustic applicators are useful for cauterization of skin or mucous membrane and for the removal of granulation tissue, warts and verrucae.
Contraindications
Contraindications & Antidotes Caustic applicators must not be used for genital warts. Continued application to mucous membranes and open wounds leads to argyria, a bluish-black discoloration of the skin due to depositions of granules of silver compounds in the connective tissues. This condition persists indefinitely or disappears very slowly. Poisoning by oral ingestion is unlikely with the quantities involved, but treatment for poisoning is the immediate ingestion of large amounts of salt water followed by an emetic.
Then administer a dose of Epsom Salts followed with milk. Immediately call a physician.
Warnings and precautions
Caution KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DO NOT USE ON OR NEAR EYES.
