Verrupatch is a medication in the form of skin patches and belongs to the group of antiverruga medications.

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

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

• Do not apply on moles, birthmarks, hairy warts, genital warts, facial warts, or mucous membranes.
• Do not use this product on irritated or wounded skin or on any area that is infected, inflamed, or red.

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

Irritation may occur if the patches come into contact with healthy skin surrounding the wart. In this case, it is recommended to temporarily suspend treatment until the irritation disappears. When resuming treatment, special attention should be paid to ensuring the patch is properly cut, so that it only comes into contact with the wart tissue.

Excessive peeling has been reported in open wounds; also, serious allergic reactions.
