Argento Proteinato Afom 1% Adulti Gocce Nasali e Auricolari 10 Ml

Solution in drops based on proteinated silver.

Therapeutic indications

Afom Silver Protein 1% is used in the decongestant and antiseptic treatment of the nasal mucosa and antiseptic of the ear canal.

Dosage and Posology

The drug should be taken according to the following doses and methods: administer 1-2 drops in each nostril or in the ear canal 2-3 times a day in adults.

Overdose

High plasma silver concentrations and skin discoloration may occur in the event of an overdose. Additionally, systemic symptoms such as hepatotoxicity, cardiomyopathy, amnesia, and slurred speech can occur. Prolonged daily ingestion of silver protein can cause irreversible neurotoxicity, with myoclonic status epilepticus, leading to coma and, finally, death. An accumulation of silver in the skin, mucous membranes, membranes and eyes, due to ingestion or absorption of even small quantities, can lead to the appearance of argyria. Argyria is characterized by a gray to dark blue color of the skin, due to the binding of silver with different proteins and the consequent production of pigments.
