Note: For proper dispensing of foam, hold the can upside down and depress the actuator.
Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam should be applied to the affected area twice daily, once in the morning and once at night. Invert the can and dispense a small amount of Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam (up to a maximum of a golf-ball-size dollop or one and a half capfuls) into the cap of the can, onto a saucer or other cool surface, or to the lesion, taking care to avoid contact with the eyes. Dispensing directly onto hands is not recommended (unless the hands are the affected area), as the foam will begin to melt immediately upon contact with warm skin. When applying Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam to a hair-bearing area, move the hair away from the affected area so that the foam can be applied to each affected area. Pick up small amounts with fingertips and gently massage into affected area until the foam disappears. Repeat until entire affected area is treated.
Apply the smallest amount possible that sufficiently covers the affected area(s). No more than one and a half capfuls of foam should be used at each application. Do not apply to face or intertriginous areas.

Instructions for applying Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam
Apply Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Apply only enough to cover the affected areas. Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam should not be applied to the groin, armpits, or other skin fold areas.
To use Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam:
Before applying Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam for the first time, break the tiny plastic piece at the base of the can's rim by gently pushing back (away from the piece) on the nozzle.
Turn the can upside down.
Push the button to squirt a small amount of Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam into the cap of the can, onto a saucer or other cool surface, or your affected skin area. This amount should be no more than 1 ½ capfuls, about the size of a golf ball.
Do not squirt Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam directly onto your hands (unless your hands are the affected areas), because the foam will begin to melt right away on contact with your warm skin. If your fingers are warm, rinse them in cold water first. (Be sure to dry them thoroughly before handling the foam.)
If the can seems warm or the foam seems runny, run the can under cold water.
Using your fingertips, gently massage Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam into the affected areas until the foam disappears.
If you are treating areas with hair such as the scalp, move any hair away so that the foam can be applied directly to the affected areas.
Repeat the process until the affected areas are treated.
Keep the foam away from your eyes, as it will sting and may cause eye problems if there is frequent contact with your eyes. If the foam gets in your eyes, rinse them well with cold water right away. If the stinging continues, contact your doctor right away.
Wash your hands after applying Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam. Throw away any of the unused medicine that you squirted out of the can.

DESCRIPTION
Virasal is a topical preparation containing 27.5% Salicylic Acid (Clomic S) 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 Virasal is generally attributed to the keratolytic activity of Salicylic Acid (Clomic S) 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 Salicylic Acid (Clomic S) is:
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Although the exact mode of action for Salicylic Acid (Clomic S) 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 Virasal’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
Virasal 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 Virasal. Virasal also should not be used on moles, birthmarks, and unusual warts with hair growing from them, or warts on the face.
PRECAUTIONS
Virasal is for external use only. Do not permit Virasal to contact eyes or mucous membranes. If contact with eyes or mucous membranes occurs, immediately flush with water for 15 minutes. Virasal should not be allowed to contact normal skin surrounding wart, since localized irritation may occur. Treatment should be discontinued if excessive irritation occurs. Virasal 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 Virasal 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 Virasal, 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 Virasal 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 Virasal use.
HOW SUPPLIED
Virasal is supplied in 10ml amber bottles with a brush applicator (NDC 42783-312-10).
Store at controlled room temperature, 15° to 30°C (59° to 86°F).

This product contains 2 main ingredients. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic. It belongs to the same class of drugs as aspirin (salicylates). It works by breaking down the thick top layer of skin and increasing the amount of moisture in the skin. It causes the wart, corn, or callus to gradually peel off. Flexible collodion works by forming a protective coating over the treated area. It helps to keep the area clean and also keeps the salicylic acid and moisture in contact with the skin.
This product should not be used on the face or on moles, birthmarks, warts with hair growing from them, or genital/anal warts.
If you are self-treating with this medication, it is important to read the package instructions carefully before you start using this product to be sure it is right for you.
How to use Lactic Acid (Clomic S) topical
Use this product on the skin as directed by your doctor. If you are self-treating, follow all directions on the product package. If you are uncertain about any of the information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
First wash the affected area. You may soak it in warm water for about 5 minutes to soften it. Dry thoroughly. Your doctor may direct you to use a rough towel, pumice stone, callus file, or emery board to gently remove the top dead layers of thickened skin after soaking and before applying the liquid. Do not use sharp objects. Removing the dead skin helps the medication to work better. Do not try to rub the wart, corn, or callus off.
Using the applicator provided, apply a thin coat of the medication (one drop at a time) to cover the entire wart, corn, or callus. To minimize irritation, be careful not to get the liquid on surrounding skin. Let dry. Repeat this procedure 1 to 2 times daily as needed until the wart, corn, or callus is removed. For warts, you may use this product for up to 12 weeks. For corns and calluses, you may use it for up to 2 weeks. Wash hands after use.
Do not use this product on skin that is irritated, red, or infected. Avoid contact with the eyes and face. If this product gets on these areas or on healthy surrounding skin, wash it off right away. Flush the eyes with water for 15 minutes. If irritation persists, contact your doctor right away.
Do not apply a large amount of this medication or apply it to a large area. Do not use it more often or for longer than directed. Your condition will not improve any faster, and your risk of side effects will increase.
Avoid inhaling the fumes from this product.

Salicylic Acid (Clomic S) 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. Salicylic Acid (Clomic S) does not affect the virus.
How to use Salicylic Acid (Clomic S) 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.

To apply ear drops, wash your hands first. To avoid contamination, do not touch the dropper tip or let it touch your ear or any other surface. Lie on your side or tilt the affected ear upward. Hold the dropper directly over the ear and place 5 to 10 drops into the ear canal. To help the drops roll into the ear of an adult, hold the earlobe up and back. In children, hold the earlobe down and back. Keep the head tilted for several minutes or insert a soft cotton plug in the ear.
If there is any wax remaining after treatment, it may be removed by gently rinsing the ear with warm water or using an ear syringe with a soft rubber bulb. Consult your doctor or pharmacist about using an ear syringe safely.
Do not rinse the dropper. Replace the dropper cap after use.
Avoid getting this medication in your eyes. If this occurs, rinse the eyes thoroughly with water.
If your condition persists after 4 days of use or if it worsens, or if you think you may have a serious medical problem, seek immediate medical attention.

Allergies
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to Salicylic Acid (Clomic S) or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Pediatric
Young children may be at increased risk of unwanted effects because of increased absorption of Salicylic Acid (Clomic S) through the skin. Also, young children may be more likely to get skin irritation from Salicylic Acid (Clomic S). Salicylic Acid (Clomic S) should not be applied to large areas of the body, used for long periods of time, or used under occlusive dressing (air-tight covering, such as kitchen plastic wrap) in infants and children. Salicylic Acid (Clomic S) should not be used in children younger than 2 years of age.
Geriatric
Elderly people are more likely to have age-related blood vessel disease. This may increase the chance of problems during treatment with Salicylic Acid (Clomic S).

*Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) is not indicated for non-scalp atopic dermatitis, as the safety and efficacy of Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) in non-scalp atopic dermatitis has not been established. Use in children under 12 years of age is not recommended. |
Systemic absorption of topical corticosteroids has produced reversible adrenal suppression, manifestations of Cushing's syndrome, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria in some patients.
In a controlled clinical trial (188 subjects) with Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam in subjects with psoriasis of the scalp, there were no localized scalp adverse reactions reported in the Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam treated subjects. In two controlled clinical trials (360 subjects) with Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam in subjects with psoriasis of non-scalp regions, localized adverse events that occurred in the Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam treated subjects included application site burning (10%), application site dryness ( < 1%), and other application site reactions (4%).
In larger controlled trials with other clobetasol propionate formulations, the most frequently reported local adverse reactions have included burning, stinging, irritation, pruritus, erythema, folliculitis, cracking and fissuring of the skin, numbness of the fingers, skin atrophy, and telangiectasia (all less than 2%).
The following additional local adverse reactions have been reported with topical corticosteroids, but they may occur more frequently with the use of occlusive dressings and higher potency corticosteroids such as Clobetasol Topical (Clomic S) (clobetasol propionate) Foam. These reactions are listed in an approximate decreasing order of occurrence: dryness, hypertrichosis, acneiform eruptions, hypopigmentation, perioral dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, maceration of the skin, secondary infection, striae, and miliaria.
