Salicylic Acid
Verrucae Therapy
Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Although the exact mode of action of salicylic acid in the treatment of warts is not known, its activity appears to be associated with its keratolytic action which results in mechanical removal of epidermal cells infected with wart viruses.
Indications And Clinical Uses: In the treatment and removal of common warts and plantar warts.
Contra-Indications: Occlusal should not be used by diabetics or patients with impaired blood circulation. It should not be used on moles, birthmarks, unusual warts with hair growing from them, or warts on the face.
Precautions: For external use only. Do not permit Occlusal to contact eyes or mucous membranes. If contact with eyes or mucous membranes occurs, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Salicylic acid should not be allowed to contact normal skin surrounding wart. Treatment should be discontinued if excessive irritation occurs. Occlusal is flammable and should be kept away from fire or flame. Keep bottle tightly capped when not in use.
Adverse Reactions: A localized irritant reaction may occur if Occlusal is applied to the normal skin surrounding the wart. Any irritation may normally be controlled by temporarily discontinuing use, and by applying the medication only to the wart site when treatment is resumed.
Dosage And Administration: Prior to application, soak wart in warm water for 5 minutes. Remove any loosened tissue by gently rubbing with a brush, wash cloth, or emery board. Dry thoroughly. Using the brush applicator supplied, apply twice to affected area, allowing the first application to dry before applying the second. Treatment should be once a day and should continue as directed by physician. Be careful not to apply to surrounding skin.
Clinically visible improvement will normally occur during the first 2 to 4 weeks of therapy. Maximum resolution may be expected after 6 to 12 weeks of drug use.
