No. It is related to silver nitrate but Argyrol is a silver protein liquid brown compound. I supposed it could do as well as silver nitrate when instilling it into an infant's eyes if diluted appropriately. But I couldn't be sure if it would kill gonnorhea bug, which it was initially used for. It is still being produced by some chemical / pharmaceutical company when I checked two years ago. Don't have the email from the company anymore. Sorry.
Does anyone know the strength of turpentine that is used for bruises and cuts?

On the argyrol website, it says this drug can be used to treat genitourinary infections. Perhaps that was the purpose for those seemingly weird treatments at age 2.

Sorry forgot to indicate this reply above was for Georgia King.
Separate question - why did some people here think it was off the market while others saying it is available? Are we sure it's the same product?

I use this stuff in the late 70s and early 80s until it couldn't be found anymore. I used to suffer from an impacted passage in my left nostril, whenever I would get a cold. After using Argyrol through several colds this symptom went away and never reappeared. I applied it by putting a drop or two in each eye which would drain down into the back of my sinuses and out into my throat. I was always cautious not to allow my eyes to become stained by overuse.
I was given a bottle of Cristal Argyrol by a pharmacist who had inherited it from his predecessor. He responsibly admonished me not to use it. Can't say I obeyed him.

its safe for LIMITED uses yes, but its only effective in high concentrations (in a petridish) if it is applied inside the body (intranasal, oral or inhalation) then the Silver nitrate (or Ionic silver it doesnt matter in what form since it will be transformed in the body anyway just add or substract a step or two) will accumulate and buildup in the skin and other organs.
Beware that this is irreversable and can ultimatly cause a condition known as Argyria (skin turning gray). So yes it can inhibit the growth of some microbes, in high concentrations but only if its in such high doses that its ill advised to try on a regular basis. The best way against infections is a strong immunesystem. Immuneboosters or trainers (in form of probiotics for example) are the best way against chronic infections.
It does JACK against the vast majority of viruses btw.
best regards and be safe

Wow stopped me in my tracts of even considering using it when I saw pictures & read this lady's "Argyria story"! She is very angry that anyone is allowed to sell anything with silver in it & has made it her mission to try to stop it. She turned gray when she was a child from it. I'm sure not taking any chances.

So, maybe, colloidal silver could be used in place of argerol, though it's missing the nitrate, the silver might be of use.... I recall silver nitrate, at one time quite long ago, was standard protocol to put in the eyes of newborns to guard against any possible transmission (of STIs) as baby came through the birth canal.

The original Argyrol had Bromine in it --- that is what gave it the brown color. The coloidal silver that some are saying is the same Argyrol, does not have Bromine in it.

Re: Steve (# 1) 
Try an apothecary shop.They are known for making compound meds. I use to get "argerol" there. Haven't had use for it for years. If you do find it, let me know. Good to keep in the medicine cabinet. No expiration date.I

Argerol (its name went something like that) was a liquid that couldn't last long so usually the pharmacy would make a small amount, but it's not used or made like that anymore. Does anyone have more information on this med?

I'm 82, but when little i got a lot of sore throats. My dad would swab my throat and lift off the white matter on my tonsils. Within two days I'd be just fine. He did this on the advice of a cousin who was a doctor. And I still have my tonsils!

Me too. It worked almost instantly, cleared up my sinuses and was so much better than all these pills today.
