Phenylmercuric nitrate is classified as an antimicrobial preservative. It is bactericidal against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative species. It is used as antimicrobial preservative mainly in ophthalmic preparations. Patients who used eye drops containing the preservative, phenylmercuric nitrate for from 3 to 15 years, developed a brownish pigmentation of the anterior capsule of the pupillary area. Special studies, including electron microprobe analysis and neutron activation analysis established the presence of mercury in a lens with mercurialentis. Phenylmercuric nitrate is also an effective spermicide, although its use in vaginal contraceptives is no longer recommended.
