Duofilm Solution 15 mL: Targeted Wart Treatment for Home Use

Duofilm Solution 15 mL is a pharmacy medicine for wart treatment, designed for adults and children aged 2 years and over. It combines salicylic acid 16.7% w/w and lactic acid 16.7% w/w in a flexible collodion base to help soften wart tissue when used as directed.

• Active ingredients: Salicylic acid 16.7% w/w and lactic acid 16.7% w/w provide keratolytic action to help break down wart tissue when applied to the affected area.
• Base and packaging: Flexible collodion BP formulation (contains pyroxylin, colophony, virgin castor oil, ethanol and ether) in a 15 mL bottle for topical use.
• Application method: For best results, soak the wart in warm water for 5 minutes, dry thoroughly, rub the surface to remove dry skin, apply a thin layer of Duofilm to the wart and allow to dry. Cover with a plaster if needed for larger warts or those on the foot.
• Usage scope: Suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and over. Not recommended for infants under 2. Avoid contact with healthy skin and eyes; do not inhale vapors. If accidental contact occurs with open wounds or mucous membranes, rinse with water for 15 minutes.
• Safety and precautions: May cause skin irritation. Do not use if allergic to colophony. Diabetics or individuals with poor circulation or neuropathy should use only under medical supervision. Pregnancy and lactation: not recommended. Large-area use (>5 cm²) may increase salicylate exposure; discontinue if irritation occurs.
• Treatment duration: Continue until the wart has been treated for up to 12 weeks or until it is completely cleared and normal skin returns.

Benefits: This topical wart treatment targets the affected area with a careful, measured approach. The dual-action acids soften the wart tissue, while the flexible collodion base supports precise application and drying. Following the recommended steps can help minimize exposure to surrounding skin and support gradual improvement over time, without the need for invasive procedures. Regular use as directed provides a practical option for at-home wart care.
