WHAT SALATAC GEL IS AND WHAT
IT IS USED FOR
•
Salatac Gel is a treatment for warts, verrucas,
corns and calluses.
– WARTS AND VERRUCAS are small excessive
growths of skin caused by a type of virus.
Warts often occur on the fingers, or on the
back of the hands. You can recognise the
common wart by the rough “cauliflower-
like” appearance of the surface. Verrucas
occur only on the sole of the foot. They can
be painful, and often look like a small white
ring of skin with a black dot in the centre.
The virus is very infectious. This means that
warts and verrucas can grow and spread,
particularly if left untreated. The virus
can also be transferred from one person
to another.
– CORNS AND CALLUSES are hard, thick pads
of skin caused by pressure and friction.
They usually occur on the feet due to
poorly fitting shoes. They can also occur
on the hands.
•
Salatac Gel is suitable for use by ADULTS,
CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY.
•
The ACTIVE INGREDIENTS in this product are
salicylic acid and lactic acid.
•
The active ingredients work by:
–
softening the hard skin growth, making it
easier to remove with a pumice stone or
emery board;
–
they also help kill the virus that causes
warts and verrucas.
2. BEFORE YOU USE SALATAC GEL
DO NOT USE Salatac Gel if you are ALLERGIC
(hypersensitive) to salicylic acid, lactic acid or
any of the other ingredients of Salatac Gel listed
in Section 6.
•
Do not use the gel anywhere on or near
your face, armpits, breasts, bottom or genital
(sex) area.
•
Do not use the gel on birthmarks, moles,
warts with hairs growing from them, or any
other spots.
•
Do not use the gel if you are diabetic or
suffer from poor blood circulation to your
hands or feet.
TAKE SPECIAL CARE when using this product:

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1.
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
For the topical treatment of warts, verrucas, corns and calluses.
4.2.
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
For adults, children and the elderly.
Salatac Gel should be applied once daily. The gel should be applied
once
every night. Treatment can take up to twelve (12) weeks for resistant
lesions
to disappear, and it is necessary to persevere with the treatment.
1.
Every night, soak the affected site in warm water for 2 to 3 minutes.
2.
Dry thoroughly with the patient's own towel.
3.
Carefully apply one or two drops of the gel to the lesion and allow to
dry over its surface. Take care to avoid spreading on to surrounding
normal skin. No adhesive plaster is necessary.
4.
The following evening, carefully remove and discard the elastic film
formed from the previous application, and reapply the gel.
Occasionally, if removal of the elastic film proves difficult,
carefully
reapply the gel directly over it and allow to dry. This should help
thicken the film to assist removal. If necessary, such re-application
may be made on two or three successive days.
5.
Once a week, gently rub away the treated surface using an emery
board, as provided, or pumice stone used only for this purpose, before
re-applying the gel.
6.
The wart, verruca, corn or callus may take up to twelve (12) weeks to
disappear and it is important to persevere with the treatment.
7.
At the end of treatment, if the elastic film is difficult to remove,
it may
be allowed to remain on the skin until it sheds.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Not to be used on or near the face, intertriginous or anogenital
