Verrucid® 10% Solution is a German topical medicine containing salicylic acid 100 mg per gram (10%) for the treatment of common warts, corns, and calluses caused by excessive thickening of the outer layer of skin.
Salicylic acid has a keratolytic (peeling/softening) action that gradually loosens and removes thickened keratinized skin. Verrucid dries after application to form a white protective film, helping keep the active ingredient localized on the treatment area.
The 10 mL bottle includes an application brush for precise treatment.
