Description

Bazuka Extra Strength Treatment Gel – 6g

Bazuka Extra Strength Treatment Gel is a topical treatment used to remove warts, verrucas, corns, and calluses. It contains a high-strength concentration of salicylic acid to help clear these common skin conditions effectively.

⸻

How It Works

The active ingredient, salicylic acid, works by softening and breaking down the hardened or infected skin cells in warts, verrucas, corns, and calluses. The gel also forms a protective film over the affected area, which helps prevent the virus from spreading to surrounding skin. With regular use, the treated tissue gradually separates and can be removed.

Directions for Use

Bazuka Extra Strength Treatment Gel is suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and over. Before applying, soak the affected area in warm water for 2–3 minutes and dry thoroughly. Using the applicator, apply a thin layer of gel directly to the wart, verruca, corn, or callus and allow it to dry. Repeat this process every night. Once a week, gently rub away the white dried gel and any softened skin using a pumice stone or emery board — take care to avoid healthy surrounding skin. Treatment may take several weeks to be effective. Do not use on the face, genitals, or on broken, inflamed, or irritated skin. Always read the patient information leaflet before use. If you are unsure about the correct dose, speak to your PillSorted pharmacist.

Interactions

Bazuka Extra Strength Treatment Gel is a topical preparation, so systemic drug interactions are unlikely when used as directed. However, avoid using other topical treatments or products on the same area at the same time without seeking advice, as this may increase the risk of skin irritation. Tell your PillSorted pharmacist or doctor about all medicines you are currently taking, including herbal remedies and supplements.

Although salicylic acid is applied topically in a small area, it is advisable to avoid use during pregnancy, particularly in the later stages. Speak to your doctor or PillSorted pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
