Use of Cor Pik callicida with other medications

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are using, have used recently, or may need to use any other medication.

Do not use this medication with other keratolytics (calluses and warts) in the same area, as this may potentiate the effect.

Do not use this medication with preparations such as abrasive soaps or products containing exfoliants (benzoyl peroxide, resorcinol, sulfur, tretinoin) or containing alcohol.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, think you may be pregnant, or intend to become pregnant, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using this medication.

The recommended dose is:

• Adults and children over 12 years old:

Apply a quantity of the product as indicated below on the affected area 1 or 2 times a day, for six days.

Cutaneous use.

Before each application, wash the affected area with warm soapy water and dry.

Apply with the help of the brush on the callus, hardness or wart, 6 layers of the product, leaving the liquid to dry between applications, avoiding touching the surrounding healthy skin, preferably at bedtime and repeating at 12 hours.

The treatment may last from five to six days. Once passed, the area will be washed with hot water to which a little baking soda has been added. After 10 minutes of bath, the detachment of the treated callus or wart should begin by gently rubbing with the hand.

For calluses or hard spots, the treatment may last approximately up to 7 days; warts may take longer to disappear completely (even several weeks).

If the callus worsens after 7 days of treatment or worsens after treatment, or if warts spread, you should consult your doctor who will re-evaluate the treatment.

Use in children and adolescents

Do not use in children under 2 years old. In children between 2 and 12 years old, it should not be used, except under medical supervision.

If you use more Cor Pik callicida than you should

Due to its external use and on a very specific area, it is unlikely that episodes of intoxication will appear.

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

Overdose or ingestion could produce systemic toxicity symptoms by salicylates, with symptoms in the ears, digestive system, or others.

In case of overdose or accidental ingestion, consult your doctor or pharmacist immediately or go to a medical center, or call the Toxicological Information Service, phone: 91 562 04 20, indicating the medication and the amount ingested.

Like all medications, this medication may produce adverse effects, although not all people may experience them.

In contact with healthy skin in adjacent areas, irritation of the skin, burning, redness, dermatitis, and even local ulceration could be provoked. In this case, treatment should be suspended until the irritation disappears. If the irritation improves, treatment can continue; when resuming it, special attention should be paid to ensuring the medication is in contact only with the callus or wart.

If this irritation becomes more severe, treatment should be interrupted and the doctor informed.

Allergic symptoms to the medication may appear.
