Acetocaustin Solution is a powerful medical device specifically formulated for the treatment of common warts (Verrucae vulgares) and plantar warts (Verrucae plantares). Designed for home use, this solution helps you safely and effectively remove warts with minimal hassle when used according to the instructions.
Key Features:
- Targeted Wart Removal: Acetocaustin penetrates deep into the skin layers to effectively treat warts, including those caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV).
- Simple, Once-a-Week Application: Only one application per week is needed due to its potent monochloroacetic acid formula.
- Ideal for Common & Plantar Warts: Suitable for treating warts on the hands, feet, and other areas affected by HPV.
How Acetocaustin Works:
Warts are often caused by HPV, a highly contagious virus that thrives in warm, moist environments such as swimming pools, saunas, and gyms. Acetocaustin’s active ingredient, monochloroacetic acid, breaks down the wart tissue, allowing for the removal of unsightly and painful warts over time. The solution is potent and effective with minimal application, making it an excellent choice for fast-acting treatment.
Directions for Use:
- Prepare the treatment area by protecting the healthy skin surrounding the wart. Apply a thick layer of cream or paste (e.g., petroleum jelly or zinc paste) around the wart to shield the skin from the caustic effects of the solution.
- Dip the applicator into the vial and apply a single drop of the solution directly to the wart.
- Important: Only one application per week is required.
- If there are multiple warts close to each other, treat one wart at a time. Begin treatment on the next wart only after the first has healed.
- For children: Acetocaustin should be used by an adult for children over 6 years of age. For children under 6, it should only be applied by a healthcare professional.
Composition:
- Active Ingredient: Monochloroacetic acid (50 mg per 100 mg of solution).
- Other Ingredients: Distilled water.
Warnings:
- Highly Caustic: Avoid contact with healthy skin, as Acetocaustin is corrosive. Protect the surrounding skin with a thick layer of cream or paste.
- Use with Caution: Only apply the solution to the wart itself. Do not exceed the recommended dose or frequency of application.
- Not Suitable for Infants: Children under 6 should be treated by a medical professional only.
Additional Tips:
- HPV spreads easily, especially in warm, moist environments like gyms and swimming pools. Protect your skin from cuts and scrapes and avoid sharing towels or walking barefoot in communal areas to reduce the risk of infection.
- Keep warts covered to prevent the spread of the virus to others.
