4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINSTRATION
For topical application.
Prior to application soak wart in
warm water for five minutes. Remove loose tissue with
a brush, emery board, pumice 
or abrasive sponge, being careful to avoid causing
pin-point bleeding or abrading the surrounding healthy skin. Dry 
thoroughly with a towel not used by others to avoid
contagion. Carefully apply Occlusal twice to the wart using the 
brush applicator allowing the first application to dry
before applying
the second. Thereafter repeat treatment once daily 
or as directed by physician. Do not apply to surrounding healthy
skin. Clinically visible improvement should occur in 
one to two weeks but maximum effect may be expected
after four to six weeks.
There are no differences in dosage for children,
adults or the elderly

impaired blood circulation. Do not use on moles, birthmarks, 
unusual warts with hair growth, on facial warts, or in
the anal or perineal region.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Occlusal is for external use only. Do not permit contact with
eyes or mucous membranes. If contact occurs flush with 
water for 15 minutes. Do not allow contact with normal skin
around wart. Avoid using on areas of broken or damaged 
skin. Discontinue treatment if excessive irritation occurs.
