Helps reduce scaling associated with psoriasis and other hyperkeratotic conditions.
For the removal of excess keratin in hyperkeratotic disorders, including scaling associated with psoriasis or thickened skin of palms and soles, corns and calluses.
Should not be used in any patient known to be sensitive to salicylic acid or any other listed ingredient. Keralyt should not be used in children under 2 years of age.
Prolonged use over large areas, especially in children and those patients with significant renal or hepatic impairment, could result in salicylism. Concomitant use of other drugs which may contribute to elevated serum salicylate levels should be avoided where the potential for toxicity is present. In children under 12 years of age and those patients with renal or hepatic impairment, the area to be treated should be limited and the patient monitored closely for signs of salicylate toxicity: nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of hearing, tinnitus, lethargy, hyperpnoea, diarrhea, psychic disturbances. In the event of salicylic acid toxicity, the use of Keralyt Gel should be discontinued. Fluids should be administered to promote urinary excretion. Treatment with sodium bicarbonate (oral or intravenous) should be instituted as appropriate. Considering the potential risk of developing Reye’s syndrome, salicylate products should not be administered to children or teenagers with varicella or influenza, unless directed by a physician.
Excessive erythema and scaling conceivably could result from use on open skin lesions.
Store at controlled room temperature 59˚ to 86˚ F (15˚ to 30˚ C)
salicylic acid 6%
propylene glycol, SD-40 alcohol (21%), hydroxypropyl cellulose and purified water
The preferable method of use is to apply Keralyt Gel thoroughly to the affected area and occlude the area at night. Preferably, the skin should be hydrated for at least 5 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 Keralyt Gel 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. Unless hands are being treated, hands should be rinsed thoroughly after application.
