Both Cantharone and Cantharone Plus should only be administered by a trained healthcare professional. Self-administration is strongly discouraged. Your doctor can determine your safe and effective dosage based on your needs.

Usage:

Cantharone (cantharidin) is a prescription topical medication used to treat certain viral skin conditions, including common warts, molluscum contagiosum, and periungual warts.

Cantharidin is a vesicant, meaning it induces blistering. When applied to a wart or molluscum lesion, it works by damaging the cells within the lesion. It doesn't just lift the lesion; it essentially causes controlled destruction of the affected tissue. The resulting blister is a consequence of this cellular damage, not merely a simple separation. The body's immune system then clears the damaged tissue, effectively removing the wart or molluscum. It's not just "lifting" it off; the body breaks it down and eliminates it.

Cantharone Plus is indicated for the treatment of plantar warts and warts that are resistant to other treatments. Following the instructions provided in the patient information sheet, and consult your doctor for personalized guidance and safe use. The information below summarizes some, but not all, potential side effects, risks, and interactions. Before taking Cantharone and Contharone Plus, it is essential to discuss all potential side effects, risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist.

Common side effects

These side effects are usually mild and temporary. However, it's important to contact your doctor if any side effects persist, worsen, or cause concern.
• Blistering is an expected common effect. However, excessive blistering outside the treated area or signs of infection (e.g., increased pain, redness spreading, pus) should be reported to your doctor immediately.
• Burning sensation: Common.
• Changes in skin Color: Lightening or darkening of the skin can occur, usually temporarily. Report any significant or persistent changes.
• Dryness or scabbing: Common as the blister heals. Moisturizers may be recommended.
• Itching or irritation: Common. Avoid scratching to prevent infection.
• Pain: Common, ranging from mild to significant. Discuss pain management strategies with your doctor. Report severe pain.
• Redness: Expected around the treat area. Rapidly spreading redness, swelling, or warmth may indicate an allergic reaction or infection and require medical attention.

Serious or rare side effects:

Some serious reactions can occur. Seek emergency medical attention and stop taking Cantharone if you experience any of the following symptoms:
• Severe pain or swelling: Excessive pain or swelling beyond expected levels at the application site.
• Skin breakdown or Sores: Significant breakdown of surrounding healthy skin, ulceration, or sores outside the treated area.
• Eye injury: Any eye contact. Immediately flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical help.
• Infection signs: Increased pain, swelling, redness, warmth, pus/drainage, fever/chills.
• Scarring: Possible, especially with infection or disrupted blisters.
• Systemic effects (rare): Kidney problems (e.g., urination changes, flank pain), gastrointestinal issues (e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain), neurological effects (e.g., seizures, confusion, dizziness).

Contraindications:

The following is a partial list of contraindications. It is crucial to discuss all potential contraindications with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Cantharone.

Cantharone should NOT be used in the following situations:
• Active or suspected infection at the treatment site

Use Cantharone in CAUTION and talk to your doctor first:
• Diabetes or poor circulation: Increased risk of complications.
• Pre-existing skin conditions: Cantharidin may worsen eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, etc. Discuss with your doctor before use.

NEVER apply Cantharone on:
• Mucosal Surfaces: Including the eyes, mouth, or anus.
• Inflamed or Irritated Skin: It can worsen the irritation and increase the risk of adverse effects.

Important: Cantharone is flammable. Avoid fire, flame, or smoking near lesions during and after treatment until it is washed off your skin.

Drug Interactions:

Before taking Cantharone, it is essential to discuss all potential risks and interactions with your doctor or pharmacist. For complete information about possible drug interactions, consult the official Cantharone prescribing information and discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider. Provide your doctor with a complete list of all your medications, including prescriptions, over the counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements. While direct drug interactions with cantharidin are not extensively documented, it is crucial to inform your doctor about all medications and health conditions before using Cantharone, as it can cause skin irritation and potential complications.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

The safety of Cantharone during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been fully established. Therefore, Cantharone is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, you must consult with your doctor to discuss the potential risks and benefits before using this medication.
