POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
For adults, children and the elderly. For cutaneous use only.
Bazuka 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.
