Mercurophylline is a mercurial diuretic, having the form of white or yellow odorless powder under room temperature.[1] It was formerly used as medicine, administered through injection or tablets.[2]
Mercurophyllin is poisonous when administered subcutaneously, intraperitoneally and intravenously. When administered intravenously, it can cause cardiac arrhythmia.[3] Prolonged oral administration can lead to gastrointestinal irritation and kidney damage.[4]
