WHAT DUOFILM IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
The name of your medicine is Duofilm. It contains two
medicines called salicylic acid and lactic acid. It works by
softening the skin of a wart, causing it to peel off.
Duofilm is used to treat warts.
•
A wart is an infection in the top layers of the skin. It
is caused by a virus.
•
Warts can be spread when the virus touches
damaged skin.
•
It is more likely to spread in places which are warm
and moist. This is why one of the most common
places to catch warts is swimming pools.
•
It can take from a few weeks to several months for
the wart to appear.
2.
BEFORE YOU USE DUOFILM
DO NOT USE DUOFILM:
•
if you are allergic to the salicylic acid, lactic acid or
any of the other ingredients of Duofilm (listed in
Section 6).
•
on open skin wounds, moles, birthmarks, warts on
your face, genital warts, warts with hair growing from
them, warts with red edges or with an unusual
colour.
Do not use Duofilm if the above applies to you. If you are
not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you
start using Duofilm.
TAKE SPECIAL CARE WITH DUOFILM:
•
Duofilm is for external use only.
•
Don’t get Duofilm in your eyes, nose, or mouth, or on
the genital and anal areas. If you do get Duofilm in
your eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes.
•
Do not inhale the vapour.
•

The wart should be soaked in warm water for 5 minutes and dried
thoroughly with a clean towel.
2.
The surface of the wart should be rubbed with a nail file, pumice
stone, emery board or coarse washcloth, with
care taken not to cause bleeding.
3.
A thin layer of Duofilm should be applied directly to the wart. Care
