Calomel Powder: Overview
Calomel Powder is a historical medicinal compound consisting of mercurous chloride (Hg₂Cl₂), a white or off-white, odorless powder once widely used in Western and traditional medicine. It was primarily employed as a purgative, diuretic, and antiseptic, and was commonly used in the 18th and 19th centuries to treat a range of conditions including syphilis, constipation, and skin disorders.
Despite its past popularity, Calomel is a mercury-based compound, and its use has declined sharply due to its toxic effects and the risk of mercury poisoning, particularly with prolonged use. Side effects included damage to the kidneys, nervous system, and gastrointestinal tract.
Today, Calomel Powder is rarely used medicinally and is considered hazardous. It may still be encountered in certain traditional practices or in laboratory settings but is regulated or banned in many countries due to health and safety concerns.
