Duofilm Solution
Duofilm Solution is a keratolytic topical treatment formulated with a combination of salicylic acid and lactic acid. It works by softening the hard, thickened outer layer of skin that forms the wart, allowing it to be gradually worn away or peeled off.
Dosage by Body Weight
Soak the affected area in warm water for 5 minutes and dry thoroughly. Gently rub the surface of the wart with a pumice stone or emery board. Apply Duofilm solution directly to the wart once daily, preferably at bedtime, taking care to avoid surrounding healthy skin. Allow it to dry completely. Do not use on the face, genitals, or skin that is red, irritated, or infected.
