Using Duofilm
- Use Duofilm once a day, before bedtime, using the brush in the pack.
- It may take 4 to 8 weeks for visible improvement.
- Keep using Duofilm either until the wart has been treated for 12 weeks or until you can see the lines of your skin again (called ‘ridge lines’).

- Avoid smoking or being near an open flame whilst using Duofilm, or immediately after use.
How to use Duofilm
1. Remove any plasters.
2. Soak the warts in hot water for five minutes.
3. Dry the area with your own towel.
4. Rub the top of the warts carefully with a pumice stone, nail file, coarse washcloth or emery board.
5. Then put on enough Duofilm to cover the warts. Try not to get it on the normal skin around the warts.
6. Let the Duofilm dry thoroughly.
7. Cover the wart with a plaster if possible to help the ingredients get to work.
To stop warts from spreading to others Remember that warts can spread to others.
Only use your own towel.
