Indications 

Cantharone Plus Liquid is indicated for the removal of warts, particularly those that are plantar, resistant, and heavily keratinized. 

Cantharone Plus Liquid contains a mixture of three wart removers: cantharidin, salicylic acid, and podophyllin. 

The precise mechanism of these agents remains unknown. However, salicylic acid is believed to eliminate wart virus-infected epithelial cells through its keratolytic activity, while podophyllin is thought to cause tissue destruction with its acidic properties. On the other hand, cantharidin is believed to exfoliate the wart tumor by its vesicant properties.
