Salatac Gel

To use the gel (adults, children and the elderly):
Follow these steps once every day, usually in the evening. Carry on using the product 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.
If the gel accidentally gets on to normal skin, wipe it off
