Physiological action

This agent when applied to the skin is an antiparasitic, when absorbed there is a peculiar foetor in the mouth. The gums are swollen, the teeth are sore, there is an increase in the amount of saliva, and ptyalism, with a peculiar metallic taste. When taken internally, large doses produce diarrhoea. The evacuation of bile is hastened in duodenum. Tonic doses diminish the cardiac action, and produce anaemia and dissolution of the corpuscular elements of the blood. The breathing is labored and weak. (3) 

Patho-physiological changes / Pathogenesis

• Metal by itself is inert but by combining with the acids and other fluids of the body, it is converted into a highly poisonous material. It enters blood circulation and produces many functional and destructive changes in organs, tissues and blood. 
• In small doses and for a short duration it acts as a tonic improving the general condition of the system, the red blood cells and causing a gain in weight. 
• Profoundly acts upon the entire organism, affecting both the functions and substances of every organ and tissue of the body. 
• Merc Sol acts upon the digestive system causing ulceration of the mucous membranes producing pain in the stomach. 
• It acts upon salivary glands producing excessive salivation in the mouth due to inflammation of the salivary glands and in some cases the whole thing may turn gangrenous. 
• Merc Sol acts upon blood – red blood cells are destroyed. As a result of this, the coagulability of blood diminishes, producing profound anaemia, oedema and palpitation. Continuous administration of mercury produces the peculiar cachexia known as ‘hydrargyrism’. 
• All glandular structures of the body are affected. The lymphatic glands, the liver, the pancreas and the bile are affected. 
• Acts upon the nervous system producing tremors initially. The chronic effect may cause epileptic seizures followed by coma and death. 
• Merc Sol acts in pregnant women, causing abortion due to the impoverishness of blood. 
• Acts upon skin producing an eruption like scarlet fever. The skin is swollen and burns like fire; it is accompanied with profuse sweating and falling of hair.  
• It acts on the mind and brain producing weakness of mind, mental depression, debility, nervous tremors, incoordination and paralysis. 
• Due to the action on the liver, it becomes enlarged and sensitive; secretion of bile is augmented. (2)
