Cream
COMPOSITION SALICID™ Cream: Each gram cream contains Salicylic Acid BP 120 mg. PHARMACOLOGY Salicylic Acid has a potent keratolytic & a slight antiseptic action when applied topically to the skin. In low concentrations, the drug has keratoplastic activity (correction of abnormal keratinization) & in higher concentrations, the drug has keratolytic activity (causes peeling of skin). Salicylic Acid softens & destroys the stratum corneum by increasing endogenous hydration (water concentration), probably because of decreased pH, which causes the cornified epithelium (horny layer of the skin) to swell, soften, & then desquamate. Necrosis of normal skin has been associated with overuse of the drug. At high concentrations, Salicylic Acid has a caustic effect. Moisture is essential for Salicylic Acid to exert its action on the skin and for maceration and desquamation of epidermal tissue to occur. The drug has weak antifungal & antibacterial activity. INDICATION SALICID ™ Cream is indicated for the treatment of following common scaly conditions: - Corns and Calluses (are hard, thick pads of skin caused by pressure and friction. They usually occur on the feet due to poorly f itting shoes and can occur on the hands). - Warts (small excessive growths of skin caused by a type of virus. Warts often occur on the fingers or on the back of the hands) - Verruca (occurs only on the sole of the feet and can be painful. It often looks like a small white ring of skin with a black dot in the centre) DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION Apply to the affected area once daily (preferably at night). If possible, hydrate area for 5 minutes to soften prior to application. Occlude the area at night. Wash off in morning. OVERDOSE An overdose of topical Salicylic Acid is unlikely to occur. If an overdose is suspected or if the medication has been ingested accidentally, a poison control center or emergency room should be called immediately for advice. PRECAUTION For external use only.
