Salatac Wart Gel

Buy Salatac Wart Gel Online

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 “cauliflowerlike” 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.

While the gel is working you may feel a
slight tingling sensation and / or some mild
tenderness at the treated area. This is usually
temporary, and in rare cases may appear as a
temporary blemish on the skin.
- If you mistakenly allow the gel to spread onto
and remain in contact with areas of normal
skin, it may
cause irritation.
- If you spill the product on your clothes,
fabrics, jewellery or metal and polished
surfaces it may damage them permanently.
- Stop using this product and tell your doctor
or pharmacist if:
– you experience unacceptable discomfort or
if irritation persists, or;
– any of the side effects get serious, or you
notice any other side effects not mentioned
in this leaflet.

Before taking any medication, it is important to read the Patient Information Leaflet. You can find information leaflets for your medicines by typing them into the search bar at medicines.org, or by contacting us.

• Salatac Wart Gel PIL

Follow these steps once every day, usually in
the evening. Carry on using the gel in this way
until the wart, verruca, corn or callus disappears:

A. Soak the affected area in warm water for 2 to
3 minutes.
B. Dry the area thoroughly, using your own
towel if you have a wart or verruca (this will
help stop the infection spreading to other
people).
C. Taking care to avoid squeezing the tube,
remove the protective cap, leaving the nozzle
attached to the tube.
D. Carefully apply a thin coating (one or two
drops) of the gel to the top of the wart,
verruca, corn or callus only:
– avoid the gel spreading to the surrounding
healthy skin;
– allow the gel to dry for a few minutes to
form a small white patch that sticks to the
treated area and is water resistant;
– there is no need to cover the treated area
with a sticking plaster;
– always replace the protective cap after use.
E. The next evening, carefully peel or pick off
the white patch of dried gel from the wart,
verruca, corn or callus:
– apply fresh gel as described in steps
A to D above;
– if removal of the white patch is difficult,
carefully re-apply the gel directly over it and
leave it to dry. This will thicken the white
patch and make it easier to remove.
F. Once every week, before applying fresh
gel, gently rub the wart, verruca, corn or
callus with the emery board provided, or a
pumice stone:
– if you are treating a wart or verruca, do
not let anyone else use the emery board
or pumice stone as the infection may
spread to them.
G. The length of treatment will vary depending on
the size and resistance of the wart, verruca,
corn or callus:
– some may go in a relatively short time;
– some warts and verrucas can require up to
12 weeks treatment before they disappear;
– it is important that you do not give up on
the treatment until the wart, verruca, corn
or callus has disappeared (unless irritation
occurs, see section 4 below);
– if the wart, verruca, corn or callus has
not disappeared after twelve weeks of
treatment ask your doctor or pharmacist
for advice.
H. At the end of treatment, if the white patch is
difficult to remove, you can leave it because
it will eventually fall off by itself
