Further information
1. WHAT SALATAC GEL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR

Salatac Gel is a collodian wart paint for treating 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;
-
helping to 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 this product anywhere on or near your face, armpits,
breasts, bottom or genital (sex)
area.

Do not use it on birthmar

4 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.
