Uses of Tricosteril Coripel Cors in details
This medication is used on the skin to treat common skin and foot (plantar) warts. Tricosteril Coripel Cors helps cause the wart to gradually peel off. This medication is also used to help remove corns and calluses. This product should not be used on the face or on moles, birthmarks, warts with hair growing from them, or genital/anal warts.
Tricosteril Coripel Cors is a keratolytic. It belongs to the same class of drugs as aspirin (salicylates). It works by increasing the amount of moisture in the skin and dissolving the substance that causes the skin cells to stick together. This makes it easier to shed the skin cells. Warts are caused by a virus. Tricosteril Coripel Cors does not affect the virus.
How to use Tricosteril Coripel Cors topical
Follow all directions on the product package. If you are uncertain about any of the information, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
This medication is for use on the skin only. To avoid irritation, do not let this medication come into contact with your eyes, nose, mouth, groin, or any broken skin. If you do get the medication in those areas, flush the area with cool water for 15 minutes. Wash hands after use.
First, soak the corn, callus, or wart in warm water for about 5 minutes to soften the treatment area. Dry thoroughly. Your doctor may direct you to use a pumice stone, callus file, or emery board to carefully remove the top dead layers of skin after soaking and before applying the medication. This dead skin removal is only to help the medication work better. Do not try to rub the wart or callus off.
If you are using a liquid/gel, apply a few drops or a thin coat of the medication to cover the entire wart, callus, or corn using the applicator if provided. Be careful to apply it only to the affected area and not the surrounding skin. Let dry for 5 minutes. Depending on the brand used, you may need to apply the medication twice with each treatment. Check your product package and follow the directions carefully. You may cover the area loosely with a bandage. Repeat this procedure 1 to 2 times daily for up to 2 weeks for corns and calluses and 12 weeks for warts or as directed by your doctor.
If you are using a medicated pad or bandage, you may need to cut the pad so that it covers the treatment area completely but does not touch the surrounding skin. Peel off the protective covering and place the patch/bandage over the area. Leave in place according to package directions. Remove and place a new patch/bandage as directed (usually every 8 to 48 hours depending on brand). Repeat this procedure for up to 2 weeks for corns and calluses and 12 weeks for warts.
Dosage is based on your medical condition, product type/brand, and response to treatment. Do not use large amounts, apply this medication more often, or use it for a longer period than directed. Your condition will not clear faster, but the chance for side effects may be increased.
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day.
If your condition persists or worsens, or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, seek immediate medical attention.

DESCRIPTION
Tricosteril Coripel Cors is a topical preparation containing 27.5% Tricosteril Coripel Cors in a proprietary film-forming vehicle that comprises isopropyl alcohol, butyl acetate, polyvinyl butyral, isopropyl metacresol, trimethyl pentanyl diisobutyrate, phenic acid and acrylates copolymer. The pharmacologic activity of Tricosteril Coripel Cors is generally attributed to the keratolytic activity of Tricosteril Coripel Cors which is incorporated into a polyacrylic, film-forming virucidal vehicle designed to cover the wart without the need for a bandage. The structural formula of Tricosteril Coripel Cors is:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Although the exact mode of action for Tricosteril Coripel Cors in the treatment of warts is unknown, its activity appears to be associated with its keratolytic action, which results in mechanical removal of epidermal cells infected with wart viruses.
The virucidal complex incorporated into Tricosteril Coripel Cors’s proprietary vehicle is designed to help reduce risk of reinfection at the wart site, as well as prevent viral contamination of the product under normal usage.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Tricosteril Coripel Cors is indicated for the topical treatment and removal of common warts and plantar warts.
CONTRAINDICATIONS
Patients with diabetes or impaired blood circulation should not use Tricosteril Coripel Cors. Tricosteril Coripel Cors also should not be used on moles, birthmarks, and unusual warts with hair growing from them, or warts on the face.
PRECAUTIONS
Tricosteril Coripel Cors is for external use only. Do not permit Tricosteril Coripel Cors to contact eyes or mucous membranes. If contact with eyes or mucous membranes occurs, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Tricosteril Coripel Cors should not be allowed to contact normal skin surrounding wart, since localized irritation may occur. Treatment should be discontinued if excessive irritation occurs. Tricosteril Coripel Cors is flammable. Keep away from fire or flame. Keep bottle tightly capped when not in use.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
A localized irritant reaction may occur if Tricosteril Coripel Cors is applied to the normal skin surrounding the wart. Any irritation may normally be controlled by temporarily discontinuing use and by applying the medication only to the wart site when treatment is resumed.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
Prior to applying Tricosteril Coripel Cors, soak wart in warm water for five minutes. Remove any loosened tissue by gently rubbing with a brush, wash cloth, or emery board. Dry wart site thoroughly. Using the brush applicator supplied, apply Tricosteril Coripel Cors twice to entire wart surface, allowing the first application to dry before applying the second. Continue treatment once or twice a day as directed by physician. Be careful not to apply to surrounding skin.
Clinically visible improvement will normally occur during the first or second week of therapy. Maximum resolution may be expected after four to six weeks of Tricosteril Coripel Cors use.
