Bazuka Gel - 5g

Bazuka Gel 5g is a topical treatment for the removal of common warts, verrucas, corns and calluses. It contains a keratolytic active ingredient that works by softening and gradually breaking down hardened skin, allowing the affected tissue to be removed over time.

When applied, the gel dries to form a water-resistant protective film, helping the active ingredient remain in contact with the lesion while protecting it from moisture. This makes Bazuka Gel suitable for convenient home use without the need for additional dressings.

Bazuka Gel is commonly recommended in pharmacy practice for:

• Common warts on hands and fingers
• Verrucas (plantar warts) on the feet
• Corns
• Calluses

Pack size: 5g
