Contraindications: GEHWOL Corn Tincture must not be used in the case of hypersensitivity to salicylic acid, salicylates or any of the other ingredients of the medicine, in infants, in patients with impaired renal function (renal insufficiency).
GEHWOL Corn Tincture may only be used on small areas during pregnancy (area smaller than 5 cm2). GEHWOL Corn Tincture must not be used on the breast during breastfeeding. Accidental ingestion of salicylic acid by the infant through contact with the treated part of the body must be avoided. If the doctor considers regular treatment of large areas of skin with GEHWOL Corn Tincture necessary, breastfeeding should be stopped early, as risks due to inadequate detoxification in newborns cannot be ruled out. In children, a daily dose of 0.2 g salicylic acid (equivalent to 1.4 g GEHWOL Corn Tincture) must not be exceeded.
Side effects:
Local skin irritation (burning and redness) occurs rarely. Very rarely, allergic skin reactions can occur upon contact with the medication.
Warnings:
GEHWOL Corn Tincture must not come into contact with mucous membranes, and in particular contact with the eyes must be avoided. The permeability of the skin to salicylic acid can be increased in the case of skin diseases that are accompanied by redness and inflammation (e.g. psoriatic erythroderma) or superficial weeping changes to the skin.
Interactions:
Salicylic acid can increase the permeability of the skin to other locally applied medications. Salicylic acid absorbed through the skin can increase the undesirable effects of methotrexate and the blood sugar lowering effect of oral antidiabetics of the sulfonylurea type.
