Abstract:
1. A method of treating warts comprising: topically applying to a wart a therapeutically effective amount of a composition consisting essentially of from about 2-5% by weight 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), from about 10-25% by weight salicylic acid, from about 5-50% by weight organic solvent, said organic solvent being first combined with the 5-FU so as to dissolve the 5-FU followed by addition of salicylic acid followed by other ingredients of the composition; from about 1-10% by weight water-swellable polymer; and an adhesive; and allowing the composition to release salicylic acid onto the wart to remove keratin from the wart and surrounding skin to allow penetration of the 5-FU into the wart.
