Unlike creams and ointments that can spread to surrounding skin and cause irritation, WartPEEL is formulated with Remedium Adhesive Gel. This proprietary base is designed to remain on the wart and penetrate the thick outer layer of skin, delivering active ingredients directly to the living wart tissue.

Remedium is a patented gel base composed of 75% adhesive agents. It allows for localized, targeted treatment by securing the medication to the wart and enhancing absorption. Remedium is key to WartPEEL’s effectiveness and patent protection.

WartPEEL is exclusively compounded and distributed by NuCara Pharmacy. It is not available through local compounding pharmacies. NuCara ships to 48 U.S. states (excluding Alaska and Arkansas) and also offers distribution in Canada.

WartPEEL typically dries in about 15 minutes when applied in a thin layer. Drying time can be reduced by using a fan or a hair dryer set to cool and low.

Treatment duration varies depending on the condition: 

• Common, plantar, periungual, and palmar warts typically resolve within 1–3 weeks. 
• SKs, DPNs, flat warts, and male genital warts usually resolve within 3–10 days. 
• Molluscum contagiosum in children over age 5 often resolves in approximately 3 days.

WartPEEL should not be used past the labeled beyond-use date. If the product thickens or separates, it should be discarded.

Most routine cases do not require follow-up if patients receive clear instructions. For severe or widespread cases, a follow-up visit is recommended in 2–4 weeks. If you're new to prescribing WartPEEL, consider scheduling a check-in within 2–3 weeks to evaluate progress and gain familiarity with treatment outcomes.

The most common reasons for failure include skipping applications, not allowing the medication to fully dry (which can lead to irritation from spreading), and improper tape usage.

Adults with long-standing, severe plantar or palmar warts may require close monitoring and in-office curettage to achieve optimal results.

Yes, if done properly. Patients should use disposable nail files, cut into small pieces, to avoid reuse and reduce the risk of spreading infection. Debridement can begin once the wart turns white, typically around day 2 or 3. This improves penetration of the medication and gives patients visible feedback on progress. As the wart begins to separate from the skin, the included blue WartPEEL applicator pick can be used to gently lift and remove loosened tissue. Once the dead wart is flush with the skin surface, patients should stop using abrasive tools and continue only with the applicator pick to avoid irritation or spreading. For sensitive areas or crusted lesions such as SKs or molluscum, a warm washcloth is the only recommended method of debridement.

Blenderm tape (provided with the prescription) is preferred, as it reduces transepidermal water loss and improves medication retention. Duct tape may be used if desired. Band-Aids should be avoided except during the day. Tape is not necessary for flat warts, genital warts, SKs, or molluscum, and may cause irritation in sensitive areas.

Yes. It can be used on the face but may cause stinging, especially in thin-skinned areas. Over-the-counter numbing agents, such as lidocaine or benzocaine, may help increase comfort.

There are no reported cases of scarring. WartPEEL is not believed to penetrate deep enough to damage the dermis. Mild post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation may occur but is generally less pronounced than with cryotherapy or cantharidin.

Common side effects include redness, irritation, and mild to moderate burning, particularly in sensitive areas. Rare side effects may include allergic contact dermatitis or itching.

Most of the medication is absorbed in the first hour. If whitening or crusting is observed on the treated area, the application was likely effective.

Use is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to the presence of 5-FU.

WartPEEL has been used safely in children as young as 4 years old under appropriate medical supervision.

Yes. WartPEEL is safe and effective for external male genital warts. It is not recommended for use on anal warts or in intertriginous areas.

WartPEEL may be used on external female genital warts as long as they are not located on mucous membranes or in intertriginous areas. It should not be used for anal warts.
