Cutaneous use (on the skin).

The recommended dose is:

• Adults and children over 2 years old (in children over 2 years old and under 12, under medical control):

Apply to the wart or warts once a day.

Before applying Antiverrugas Isdin, it is recommended to rub the surface of the wart with a file.

Apply a drop of Antiverrugas Isdin to the wart to be treated with the spatula, avoiding contact with the surrounding healthy skin area, as it may cause redness and/or burns. Protect this area with an oily ointment or cream (vaseline).

Let it dry and cover with a band-aid for 12 hours. Repeat the operation until the complete disappearance of the wart.

Consult your doctor if the warts are numerous or if infection or inflammation occurs.

Although 12 weeks of treatment may be necessary, consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after 2 weeks.

If you use more Antiverrugas Isdin than you should

Due to the route of administration of this medicine (cutaneous use), intoxication is unlikely.

In case of accidental application to the eyes or mucous membranes, rinse with plenty of water.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Redness, inflammation, and even ulceration or burning may occur in the healthy skin areas surrounding the wart.
