Product Overview
Salatac Gel Wart & Verruca Treatment 8g is a topical keratolytic treatment used for the effective removal of common warts and verrucas.
Description
Salatac Gel Wart & Verruca Treatment 8g is a topical keratolytic treatment used for the effective removal of common warts and verrucas. It contains a combination of salicylic acid and lactic acid, which work together to soften, break down and gradually remove hardened wart tissue.
When applied, Salatac Gel dries quickly to form a flexible, water-resistant film, helping the active ingredients remain in contact with the wart or verruca while protecting it from moisture. This makes it suitable for convenient daily home treatment without the need for additional dressings.
Salatac Gel is commonly recommended in pharmacy practice for:
- Common warts on hands and fingers
- Verrucas (plantar warts) on the feet
Pack size: 8g
Category: Pharmacy Medicine (P)
Suitable for: Adults and children (see warnings and precautions)
