1. What is Verrupatch and what is it used for

Verrupatch is a medicine in the form of transdermal patches and belongs to the group of anti-wart medicines.

It contains salicylic acid as the active ingredient, with anti-wart properties due to its keratolytic activity, which produces softening and subsequent destruction of the stratum corneum, allowing the elimination of warts.

Verrupatch is indicated for the local treatment of common warts, which usually appear on the hands or feet (plantar warts).

2. What you need to know before using Verrupatch

Do not use this product on irritated or wounded skin or on any area that is infected, inflamed, or reddened.
Do not use in children under 2 years of age.

Instructions for correct administration

Hand holding an auto-injector pen with the tip applied to the skin of the abdomen Hand holding a syringe with a needle inserted into the skin showing the angle of subcutaneous injection

Two hands holding an auto-injector with the thumb pressing the activation button

Before applying the patch, it is recommended to file the surface of the wart with the file included in the package.

Moisten the area to be treated with water.

Apply the patch so that the non-blue part comes into direct contact with the wart. If necessary, cut to fit so that it only covers the wart and does not touch the surrounding tissue.

Hand holding a syringe with a needle inserted into the skin fold at a 90-degree angle

Fix the patch using the adhesive strip provided.

Hand holding a syringe with a needle inserted into the skin showing the angle of subcutaneous injection

Human foot with toes outlined showing the sole and general outline

Hand holding a syringe with a needle inserted into the skin at an inclined angle for subcutaneous injection

Hand holding a syringe with a needle inclined downward ready for intramuscular injection Leave the patch on for the night (about 8 hours) and remove it in the morning. Repeat this process daily, for a maximum of 12 weeks, until the wart is eliminated. Generally, a noticeable improvement occurs during the first few days, so a complete resolution can be expected after a period of 3 to 6 weeks of treatment.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you do not notice an improvement after 1 week, or if the warts are numerous or if an infection or inflammation occurs.

If you use more Verrupatch than you should

Overdose cases are not expected due to the mode of application of this medicine. Excessive use may cause irritation, especially on healthy skin. Use emollients if necessary.

If you stop treatment with Verrupatch

If you have any other doubts about the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

4. Possible side effects

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

Local irritation may occur if the patches come into contact with the healthy skin surrounding the wart. In this case, it is recommended to temporarily suspend treatment until the irritation disappears. When resuming treatment, make sure the patch is properly cut to only come into contact with the wart tissue.

Excessive scaling has been reported in application to open lesions; also, serious allergic reactions.
