Once every week, before applying fresh gel, gently rub the wart, verruca, corn or callus with the emery board provided or a pumice stone.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bazuka Gels
Can diabetic patients use Bazuka gels?
No, Bazuka gels are not recommended for individuals with diabetes or those with poor peripheral circulation.
Can Bazuka gels be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using any medication.
Are there any age restrictions for using Bazuka gels?
Bazuka gels are suitable for adults, the elderly, and children over 2 years old. Children under 12 should be treated by an adult, and the use of these gels on infants under 2 years is not advised. In most cases, very young children are unlikely to develop verrucas, corns, or calluses until they start walking.
When treating young children, apply the gel carefully, ensuring it only covers the affected area. Excessive use may cause irritation, as children’s skin is more sensitive than adults’.
Can I swim while using Bazuka gels?
Yes, when applied correctly and allowed to dry, Bazuka gels form a water-resistant protective film, similar to an adhesive waterproof plaster. This helps reduce the risk of spreading the infection.
Verrucas are often contracted from contaminated surfaces in places such as swimming pools, changing rooms, and gyms. Covering the verruca with the Bazuka gel film, a sock, or a plaster can help prevent transmission. Treating verrucas promptly can further reduce the risk of spreading.
Can Bazuka gels harm a baby if the mother is using them on her hands?
Once the gel has completely dried, the risk of transferring it to the baby’s skin is minimal. However, avoid direct contact with the baby’s mouth or eyes as a precaution.
Can Bazuka gels be used on warts located on the face, armpits, breasts, bottom, or genital area?
No, Bazuka gels should not be applied to these areas. If you have a wart in these locations, consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and alternative treatment options.
Can Bazuka gels be used on a wart with a hair growing from it?
Hairs do not usually grow through warts, so the diagnosis should be verified. If you notice a wart with a hair, consult your GP for advice.
How long can Bazuka gels be used after opening?
Bazuka gels remain effective until the expiry date stated on the packaging, provided the cap is securely replaced and the tube is stored at room temperature (not exceeding 25°C).
What should I do if Bazuka gel gets into my eyes?
If the gel accidentally enters your eyes, seek medical attention immediately. Take the Bazuka gel tube with you to show the doctor.
Have Bazuka gels been tested on animals for licensing or marketing in Britain?
No, animal testing has not been required as all the ingredients in Bazuka gels are already well-established in pharmaceutical use.
Do Bazuka gels contain any animal-derived ingredients?
No, none of the ingredients in Bazuka gels are derived from animals.
Do Bazuka gels contain any nut-based ingredients?
No, Bazuka gels do not contain any nut-derived ingredients. However, if you experience any signs of hypersensitivity or have a known sensitivity to any component of the gel, discontinue use immediately.
Can asthma patients use Bazuka gels?
Yes, but as a precaution, apply the gel in a well-ventilated area. If you experience any signs of hypersensitivity or are known to be sensitive to any ingredient in the gel, discontinue use immediately.
Can Bazuka gels be used by individuals with lactose intolerance?
Yes, lactose intolerance is unrelated to the lactic acid used in Bazuka gels. However, if you experience any hypersensitivity or have a known sensitivity to any component, stop using the product immediately.
Can I use Bazuka gels if I am intolerant to aspirin?
Yes, Bazuka gels do not contain aspirin. They contain salicylic acid, which is different from the acetylsalicylic acid found in aspirin.
Why is it important to consult a doctor or pharmacist if I am unsure about my skin condition?
Some rare skin conditions may resemble warts, verrucas, corns, or calluses but require specialised treatment. Consulting a doctor ensures you receive the correct diagnosis and appropriate care.
