Production of mercurochrome, an antiseptic that contains Mercury, was largely phased out in the late 20th century, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned its use in over-the-counter products in 1978 due to safety concerns regarding mercury exposure. While some formulations may still exist in other countries, its use has significantly declined globally.

What is mecuricome?

Mecuricome is a dark red topical antiseptic containing mercury. Before the proliferation of over the counter first aid medicines, and FDA regulations which stopped its manufacture, Mecuricome was used throughout the world to treat minor cuts, scrapes, sores, and other external infectious conditions. The liquid was only sold in small quantities, since one application by Q-tip was extremely effective. ronaldblarson@yahoo.com
