Mercury and its compounds have been used in medicine for centuries, although they are much less common today than they once were, now that the toxic effects of mercury and its compounds are more widely understood. Mercury(I) chloride <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury%28I%29_chloride>(also known as calomel <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calomel> or mercurous chloride) has traditionally been used as a diuretic<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diuretic>, topical disinfectant <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinfectant>, and laxative <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laxative>. Mercury(II) chloride<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury%28II%29_chloride>(also known as mercuric chloride or corrosive sublimate) was once used to treat syphilis <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syphilis> (along with other mercury compounds), although it is so toxic that sometimes the symptoms of its toxicity were confused with those of the syphilis it was believed to treat.[7] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_%28element%29#_note-5> It was also used as a disinfectant. Blue mass<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_mass>, a pill or syrup in which mercury is the main ingredient, was prescribed throughout the 1800s for numerous conditions including constipation, depression, child-bearing and toothaches.[8]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_%28element%29#_note-6>In the early 20th century, mercury was administered to children yearly as a laxative and dewormer, and it was used in teething powders for infants. The mercury containing organohalide Mercurochrome<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercurochrome>is still widely used but has been banned in some countries such as the U.S. Since the 1930s some vaccines <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccine> have contained the preservative thiomersal<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiomersal>, which is metabolized or degraded to ethyl mercury<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_mercury>. Although it was widely speculated<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiomersal_controversy>that this mercury-based preservative can cause or trigger autism <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autism> in children, scientific studies showed no evidence supporting any such link.[9]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_%28element%29#_note-7>Nevertheless thiomersal has been removed from or reduced to trace amounts in all U.S. vaccines recommended for children 6 years of age and under, with the exception of inactivated influenza vaccine.[10]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_%28element%29#_note-8> Mercury in the form of one of its common ores, cinnabar<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinnabar>, remains an important component of Chinese<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Chinese_Medicine>, Tibetan <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_medicine>, and Ayurvedic<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda>medicine. As problems may arise when these medicines are exported to countries that prohibit the use of mercury in medicines, in recent times, less toxic substitutes have been devised. Today, the use of mercury in medicine has greatly declined in all respects, especially in developed countries. Thermometers<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-in-glass_thermometer>and sphygmomanometers <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphygmomanometer> containing mercury were invented in the early 18th and late 19th centuries, respectively. In the early 21st century, their use is declining and has been banned in some countries, states and medical institutions. In 2002, the U.S. Senate <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Senate> passed legislation to phase out the sale of non-prescription<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_prescription>mercury thermometers. In 2003, Washington <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington> and Maine<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine>became the first states to ban mercury blood pressure devices. [11] <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_%28element%29#_note-9> Mercury compounds are found in some over-the-counter drugs<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over-the-counter_drug>, including topical antiseptics <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiseptics>, stimulant laxatives <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laxative>, diaper-rash<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaper_rash> ointment <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ointment>, eye drops<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_drops>, and nasal sprays <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasal_spray>. The FDA<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_and_Drug_Administration>(FDA) has "inadequate data to establish general recognition of the safety and effectiveness," of the mercury ingredients in these products.[12]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_%28element%29#_note-10>Mercury is still used in some diuretics, although substitutes now exist for most therapeutic uses.
