For topical use only
Adults, and children aged 2 years and over: Apply daily to the affected areas only
Children: Treatment of infants under the age of 2 years is not recommended.
Use in children should be under the supervision of an adult.
Duofilm should be applied to the wart once daily preferably at bedtime.
Procedure for application:
The wart should be soaked in warm water for 5 minutes and dried thoroughly with a clean towel.
The surface of the wart should be rubbed with a nail file, pumice stone, emery board or coarse washcloth, with care taken not to cause bleeding.
A thin layer of Duofilm should be applied directly to the wart. Care should be taken to avoid the healthy surrounding skin.
The solution should be allowed to dry thoroughly. The wart should be covered with a plaster (dressing) if it is large or if it is on the foot to help penetration of ingredients.
It is recommended that treatment continues until whichever of the following occurs first:
Warts have been treated for 12 weeks
The wart is completely cleared and the normal ridgelines of the skin have been restored.
For warts, clinically visible improvement should occur in 1-2 weeks, but the maximum effect may be expected after 4-8 weeks.
If warts persist beyond 12 weeks of treatment, the patient should be advised to consult their pharmacist or doctor.
Consider alternative treatments if warts cover a large area of the body (more than 5 cm2).
Contains lactic acid BP 16.7% w/w and salicylic acid BP 16.7% w/w. Duofilm also contains flexible collodion BP(contains pyroxylin, colophony, virgin castor oil, ethanol and ether).
For external use only.
For full direction for use and warnings, please read the enclosed leaflet carefully.
Do not use:
If you are allergic to any of the ingredients of DUOFILM
On face or anogenital regions
If you are diabetic or have impaired circulation

Patients, esp children should be warned not to pick, bite or scratch warts as this can allow viral shedding to penetrate skin breaks (auto inoculations) which causes multiple lesions as transferred to other parts of the body
