I found it! It's gonorrhea...
Take a look at this...
Eye drops or ointment containing an antibiotic medication are placed in a newborn’s eyes after birth. This is required by law to protect the baby from an unknown gonorrhea infection in the mother’s body. Antibiotics are used in most hospitals. Another preparation, called silver nitrate, is sometimes used.

nitrato de plata
Estoy de acuerdo con las explicaciones anteriores. La traducción es nitrato de plata. Ag es el símbolo de la plata y NO3 es nitrato.
