A member asked:
Does anyone remember mercurochrome iodine or merthiolate and are they still manufactured?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not available: Mercurachrome was removed from the market years ago due to its mecury component, and i believe merthiolate was removed due to possible risks of its alcohol content and lack of benefit of healing.
