- Salicylic acid - 2 g;
- Polidocanol 600 - 0.2 g;
- Lactic acid - 0.5 g.
Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
The active components of Kollomak have the following actions:
- salicylic acid has keratolytic properties, causing desquamation and subsequent destruction of the epithelium. It also has a weak antimicrobial effect;
- polidocanol produces sclerosing and local anesthetic effects;
- lactic acid influences the keratinization process and contributes to the chemical destruction of warts.
Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetics of Kollomak in humans has not been studied.
Indications for use
According to the instructions, Kollomak is used in the treatment of warts, calluses, calluses, keratinization of the skin, genital warts (including classic giant and flattened condylomas of Buschke-Levenshtein), hyperkeratosis in psoriasis (including palmar-plantar).
Contraindications
- Breast age;
- Hypersensitivity to the components of the drug, as well as to salicylates.
Instructions for the use of Kollomak: method and dosage
Kolomak is used externally.
The solution (1 drop) should be applied to the affected skin areas. Frequency rate of application - 1-2 times a day. With hyperkeratosis of the feet (callousness) and plantar warts, the therapeutic effect is enhanced by a warm foot bath.
The maximum dose for adults is 10 ml per day (corresponds to 2 g of salicylic acid). As a rule, after 3-4 days (after taking a warm foot bath) calluses and calluses can be removed.
The maximum daily dose for children is 1 ml (corresponding to 0.2 g of salicylic acid). Do not exceed the specified dose. When treating children, several areas should not be treated at the same time.
The duration of therapy is set individually based on the effectiveness of the drug, however, when using the maximum daily dose, it should not exceed 7 days. If necessary, the treatment course can be repeated.
Do not allow contact of the drug with mucous membranes and eyes. To avoid damage to the tissues surrounding the lesion, zinc paste must be applied to them before applying the solution.
After use, the bottle with the drug should be closed well.
Side effects
In rare cases, when using Kollomak, local skin irritation may occur, manifested in the form of redness and burning.
Sometimes, skin allergic reactions may occur upon contact with the drug.
Overdose
Salicylic acid preparations when applied externally, as a rule, do not cause toxic side effects, even if the maximum dosages were unintentionally exceeded for a short time. Sometimes, skin irritation may occur at the site of application of the excess amount of the drug. Treatment consists in removing the product from the skin surface.
If Kollomak solution is accidentally swallowed, rinse the mouth with plenty of water, and then consult a doctor.
special instructions
You should not apply Kollomak solution to hairy warts, moles, warts in the face or genitals.
The drug is not recommended for use in patients with functional impairment of the kidneys (renal failure). In such patients, the use of medicines containing salicylates is possible only with extreme caution.
Do not allow Kollomak to get into mucous membranes, especially in the eyes. In the event of such an incident, the area in question must be flushed with plenty of water.
Application of the solution during pregnancy is permissible only when applied to a small skin area (no more than 5 cm²). When using Kollomak, nursing women should avoid accidental intake of the solution by an infant (through contact with the treated surfaces of the mother's body).
Application during pregnancy and lactation
During pregnancy, the drug can be applied only to limited body surface areas, not exceeding 5 cm 2.
During breastfeeding, the use of Kollomak is possible according to indications, however, accidental ingestion of the solution inside should be avoided when the child comes into contact with the treated areas of the body.
Pediatric use
In infancy, Kollomak is contraindicated.
At an older age, the use of the drug is permissible, but treatment of several skin areas at the same time should be avoided.
With impaired renal function
For patients with chronic renal failure, the drug is prescribed with caution.

Reviews about Kollomak
Reviews about Kollomak are contradictory. Some patients are very pleased with the drug and say that after 2 weeks of use, they have permanently got rid of the warts. The product is painless and does not cause side effects.
In other reviews, it is reported that Kollomak is an expensive and ineffective remedy that copes only with young, not hardened warts, and with plantar warts or calluses, it removes only the top layer of keratinized skin, while the wart or callus itself remains. This is probably due to the fact that old warts and calluses penetrate deeply into the layers of the skin and it is not always possible to remove them after one course of treatment.
Some reviews say that when Kollomak was applied, severe itching and irritation appeared.
The price of Kollomak in pharmacies
The price of Collomak in the form of a solution for external use (in 10 ml vials) is about 300 rubles and varies slightly in different pharmacies.
