Indications
Mécanisme d'action
Dissolves the intracellular cement that causes the hyperkeratotic tissue to swell, macerate, soften, and desquamate. Product is keratolytic at 3-6% and destructive at concentrations >6%; concentrations of 6-60% are used to remove corns and warts in the treatment of psoriasis and other keratotic disorders.
Posologie adulte habituelle (résumé de la notice)
Liquid (27.5%): Protect surrounding unaffected skin with petrolatum, then apply liquid to each wart and allow to dry before applying a second application; repeat once or twice daily for up to 6 weeks
Grossesse et allaitement
- Grossesse
- Safe Topical keratolytic (acne, warts, scaling). Little is absorbed from small areas; low-strength products are considered acceptable in pregnancy. Avoid large areas, high-strength peels, broken skin or occlusion, which give aspirin-like systemic exposure, especially late in pregnancy.
- Allaitement
- Safe Unlikely to be appreciably absorbed or reach milk; LactMed: considered safe during breastfeeding. Do not apply where the infant's skin will touch or where the infant could lick it (e.g. the breast).
Effets indésirables signalés
- Headache
- Stinging
- Dizziness
- Burning of skin
- Tinnitus
Contre-indications
- 6% gel: hypersensitivity to salicylic acid or any listed ingredient; not for children under 2 years of age.
Précautions particulières
- Fluids should be administered to promote urinary excretion; treatment with sodium bicarbonate (oral or intravenous) should be instituted as appropriate
- Where needed, aspirin should be replaced by alternative non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent that is not salicylate based
- Excessive application of product other than what is needed to cover affected area will not result in a more rapid therapeutic benefit
Informez votre pharmacien ou votre médecin en cas de grossesse ou d'allaitement, de maladie rénale ou hépatique, d'allergies, ainsi que de tout autre médicament ou complément que vous prenez.
