Dosage Reference
Reference Information Only
Dosages shown are general references from official sources. Always consult your doctor or pharmacist for personalized dosing.
Adults:
Adults and children may apply it twice daily, using an appropriate dose for children. It should not be used in newborns (neonates).
Side Effects
The benzoic acid can be irritant to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Salicylic acid is a mild irritant and application to the skin may cause dermatitis. Quick absorption of salicylic acid through the skin and slow excretion in the urine may cause acute systemic salicylate poisoning after excessive application of salicylic acid to large areas of the body.
Cautions & Contraindications
Warnings & Precautions
It is meant strictly for use on the skin, not to be taken internally. Keep it well away from the mouth, eyes, and other mucous membranes, as contact there can cause irritation. Patients with poor circulation in the limbs, including those with diabetes, should apply it cautiously to the hands and feet. Some skin irritation may occur; should this become troublesome or worsen, the patient should space out applications or check in with their doctor.
Contraindications
Contraindicated in patients who are hypersensitive to any of its ingredients. Because topical salicylic acid can cause salicylism if used to excess, this combination should not be applied for long periods, in strong concentrations, over large areas of the body, or on skin that is inflamed or broken.
