Questions & Answers
Side Effects & Adverse Reactions
Prolonged use over large areas, especially in children and those
patients with significant renal or hepatic impairment could result
in salicylism. Excessive application of the product other than is
needed to cover the affected area will not result in more therapeutic
benefit. 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, hyperpnea, diarrhea, and psychic dis-
turbances. In the event of salicylic acid toxicity, the use of the
Salicylic Acid 6% (w/w) Shampoo should be discontinued. Fluids
should be administered to promote urinary excretion. Treatment
with sodium bicarbonate (oral or intravenous) should be instituted
as appropriate. Patients should be cautioned against the use of
oral aspirin and other salicylate containing medications, such as
sports and injury creams, to avoid additional excessive exposure
to salicylic acid. Where needed, aspirin should be replaced by an
alternative non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory agent that is not sali-
cylate based.
Due to potential risk of developing Reye’s syndrome, salicylate
products should not be used in children and teenagers with vari-
cella or influenza, unless directed by a physician.
