Actually, it is both. Chemically, a mixture is defined as "a combination of two or more substances in which each substance retains its identity", while a solution is "a mixture in which the composition and properties are the same throughout". Therefore, as long as the di-sodium salt of the mercurochrome (typically used in the 2% antiseptic) completely dissolves in the aqueous solution, it would meet definitions of both mixture and solution.

Why is every solution a mixture but not every mixture a solution?
A solution is a mixture in which the components are evenly distributed and remain separate only on the molecular level. For example in sugar water has the same distribution of sugar and water throughout. A solution can also be called a homogeneous mixture. In other mixtures, however, the components remain more distinct from one another such that distinct particles or phases can be discerned. The different components are not evenly distributed. Mud is a good example of this: although mixed together, it is still possible to distinguish between the water and the soil particles. These are called heterogeneous mixtures.
