Duofilm Solution contains Salicylic Acid as the active ingredient. It is a topical medication commonly used to treat various skin conditions, including warts, corns, calluses, and other types of hyperkeratotic skin lesions. Salicylic Acid works by softening and loosening the outer layer of the skin, facilitating the shedding of dead skin cells and promoting the resolution of skin lesions.

Uses:

Duofilm Solution is indicated for:

Treatment of common warts (verruca vulgaris), which are benign skin growths caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
Removal of corns and calluses, which are thickened areas of skin that develop in response to friction or pressure.
Management of plantar warts, which occur on the soles of the feet and can be painful or uncomfortable.
