Verruxin gel 200 mg/200 mg is a solution for the treatment of stubborn and recurring warts on the hands and feet as well as stubborn and recurring corns and calluses.

Verruxin contains salicylic acid and lactic acid . Salicylic acid has a softening effect and dissolves hardened tissue in warts, corns, and other skin calluses. The lactic acid has a certain skin-loosening effect and water-binding properties, which makes it easier for the salicylic acid to dissolve hardened tissue. This gel also contains collodion which provides a protective film around the wart, corn, or callus.

What You Need To Know Before Using Verruxin

Do Not Use Verruxin

If you are allergic to lactic acid or salicylic acid or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings And Precautions

Diabetics and people with poor blood circulation or sensitive skin should not treat warts themselves. This gel should not be used on infected or severely red and swollen skin or if it stings when you brush on Verruxin.

Children

Not recommended for children under 6 years of age. Verruxin gel has an irritating effect on thin skin in small children.

Other Medicines And Verruxin

The effect of simultaneous use of other external drugs has not been studied.

Pregnancy And Breastfeeding

When using Verruxin, it cannot be ruled out that a small amount of salicylic acid is absorbed through the skin. During pregnancy, Verruxin should only be used on small areas of skin.

When using Verruxin, it cannot be ruled out that a small amount of salicylic acid passes into the mother’s milk, but the risk of impact on the breastfed child is unlikely. Verruxin can therefore also be used during breastfeeding. Avoid the child coming into contact with the treated skin area.

Driving Ability And Use Of Machinery

It does not affect the ability to drive and use machines.

Adults and children over 6 years:

Warts:

Treat the wart once a day as follows:

Soak the wart in warm water for about 5 minutes.
Carefully scrape away loose and loosened skin on the wart with, for example, a foot file that is only used in wart treatment.
Brush the wart with Verruxin. Avoid brushing the area of skin outside the wart.

It takes time to treat warts. The treatment must continue until the wart has completely disappeared. If the wart has not disappeared after 3 months of treatment, the treatment must be discontinued and a doctor consulted.

Corns and calluses:

Treat the corn or callus once a day as follows:

Soak corns or calluses in warm water for about 5 minutes.
Carefully scrape away loose and loosened skin on the corn or callus with, for example, a foot file that is only used in this treatment.
Brush the corn or callus with Verruxin. Avoid brushing outside the callus or callus.

The treatment should continue until the corn or callus has completely disappeared. If the corns or calluses have not disappeared after 2 weeks of treatment, the treatment must be discontinued and a foot specialist consulted.

Warts are contagious. Therefore, hands should be washed after touching or treating warts. Preferably use a disposable towel when drying the wart and surrounding skin. Do not go barefoot when foot warts have been diagnosed.

Verruxin 200 mg must not come into contact with eyes or mucous membranes. In case of splashing in the eyes, immediately flush with plenty of water (for 15 min) and consult a doctor.

If You Have Used Too Much Verruxin

If you brush on too large a dose of the medicine or if, for example, a child has ingested the medicine by mistake, contact a doctor or hospital for an assessment of the risk and advice.
