E-drug: Salbiolo and Bismarsol
----------------------------------------------------------
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find out what the products called Salbiolo and
Bismarsol contained. These are Italian trade names for products
used about 30 years ago for the treatment of syphilis. They are
thought to be a mercury and bismuth preparation. Martindale, even
older editions, has not been helpful at all. Any information would
be appreciated.
Thanks,

[Note from moderator: I think names strongly indicate combination products
of mercury and bismuth. KM]
