Salactic Film Top

Salactic Film Top Uses

This medication is used on the skin to treat common skin and foot (plantar) warts. This product contains 2 ingredients. Salicylic acid helps cause the wart to gradually peel off. Flexible collodion dries to form a covering over the treated area, helping to keep the salicylic acid on the area and shield it from possible infection. Some products may also contain lactic acid which also helps the wart to peel off.

This product should not be used on moles, birthmarks, warts with hair growing from them, genital/anal warts, or warts on the face.

How To Use Salactic Film Top

Carefully read the information that comes with the product packaging.

First, soak the area of skin in warm water for about 5 minutes to soften the wart. Dry thoroughly. Using the applicator provided, apply a thin coat of the medication to cover the entire wart. Be careful to apply it only to the wart and not the surrounding skin. Let dry for 5 minutes. You may cover the wart loosely with a bandage. Repeat this procedure 1 to 2 times daily for up to 12 weeks. Your doctor may direct you to use a pumice stone, callus file, or emery board to carefully remove the top dead layers of the wart after soaking and before applying the liquid.

Dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time(s) each day.

Tell your doctor if your wart persists or worsens.
