Hypersensitivity to topical salicylate or any of the ingredients in Wartex ointment.
Not to be used by patients with diabetes or those with severe circulatory disorders or peripheral neuropathy except following a doctor’s permission or recommendation.
Do not use if the wart or surrounding skin is broken or inflamed.
Do not use on moles, birthmarks, unusual warts with hair growth, on facial warts in the anal or perianal area or any other skin lesions for which Wartex is not indicated.
Do not apply Wartex to soft warts or moist or tender parts of the body, avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. If contact occurs flush with water for 15 minutes. Avoid contact with normal skin around the Wart. Avoid using on areas of broken or damaged skin. Discontinue treatment if excessive irritation occurs.
Remove immediately any surplus ointment from normal skin tissue.
Excessive prolonged use of topical salicylic acid may result in symptoms of salicylism and therefore topical salicylic acid should not be used for prolonged periods, in high concentrations, on large areas of the body.
There are no known interactions when used as indicated. However, salicylic acid may increase the absorption of other topically applied medicines. Concomitant use of Wartex and other topical medicines should therefore be avoided.
Whilst there are no known contra-indications to the Wartex during pregnancy and lactation, the safety has not been established. Wartex should therefore be used with caution or following professional advice.
None stated.
A localised irritant reaction may occur if Wartex is applied to normal skin surrounding the Wart. This may be controlled by temporarily discontinuing the use of Wartex and by being careful to apply it only to the Wart when treatment is resumed.
