4.2 Drug Warning

A case of an unusual caustic ingestion involving Compound W, an over the counter wart remover is presented. Chemical burns of the tongue, pharynx and larynx developed. The active ingredient in this preparation: salicylic acid in a flexible collodion vehicle produces caustic injury through a keratolytic action, which may be enhanced by the presence of collodion.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 MeSH Pharmacological Classification

Explosive Agents

Substances that are energetically unstable and can produce a sudden expansion of the material, called an explosion, which is accompanied by heat, pressure and noise. Other things which have been described as explosive that are not included here are explosive action of laser heating, human performance, sudden epidemiological outbreaks, or fast cell growth. (See all compounds classified as Explosive Agents.)


Tissue Adhesives

Substances used to cause adherence of tissue to tissue or tissue to non-tissue surfaces, as for prostheses. (See all compounds classified as Tissue Adhesives.)
