Pregnancy (Category C)
Salicylic acid has been shown to be teratogenic in rats and monkeys. It is difficult to extrapolate from oral doses of acetylsalicylic acid used in these studies to topical administration as the oral dose to monkeys may represent six times the maximal daily human dose of salicylic acid when applied topically over a large body surface. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Salicylic Acid 6% (w/w) Cream should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
Nursing Mothers
Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from the mother’s use of Salicylic Acid 6% (w/w) Cream, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. If used by nursing mothers, it should not be used on the chest area to avoid the accidental contamination of the child.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
No data is available concerning potential carcinogenic or reproductive effects of Salicylic Acid 6% (w/w) Cream. Salicylic acid has been shown to lack mutagenic potential in the Ames Salmonella test.
Adverse Reactions to Salicylic Acid
Excessive erythema and scaling conceivably could result from use on open skin lesions.
OVERDOSAGE
See WARNINGS.
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
The preferable method of use is to apply 6% Salicylic Acid (w/w) Cream thoroughly to the affected area and to cover the treated area at night after washing and before retiring. Preferably, the skin should be hydrated for at least five minutes prior to application. The medication is washed off in the morning and if excessive drying and/or irritation is observed, a bland cream or lotion may be applied. Once clearing is apparent, the occasional use of Salicylic Acid 6% (w/w) Cream will usually maintain the remission. In those areas where occlusion is difficult or impossible, application may be made more frequently; hydration by wet packs or baths prior to application apparently enhances the effect. (See WARNINGS.) Unless hands are being treated, hands should be rinsed thoroughly after application. Excessive repeated application of Salicylic Acid 6% (w/w) Cream will not necessarily increase its therapeutic benefit, but could result in increased local intolerance and systemic adverse effects such as salicylism.
