1. WHAT IS CORN PLASTER AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR

The Corn Plaster medicine contains the active substance salicylic acid. Salicylic acid, applied locally to the thickened skin, softens and loosens it, making it easier to remove.

2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE USING CORN PLASTER

• in patients with kidney and liver failure
• if the callus, corn, or surrounding skin is damaged, inflamed, or irritated.

When to exercise special caution when using Corn Plaster

Treatment should be discontinued and the Corn Plaster removed if skin inflammation, irritation, or allergic reaction occurs.
The medicinal plaster should only be applied to the corn – it should not be used on unchanged healthy skin or damaged skin, as salicylic acid is absorbed through the skin and may cause systemic side effects.
