Corn and Callus Remover Drug Products

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates over-the-counter (OTC) corn and callus remover products through a specific monograph, designated as M030. This monograph ensures these products are safe and effective for their intended use. According to M030, an acceptable corn and callus remover will be a topical treatment containing salicylic acid within a certain concentration range. The monograph dictates two acceptable dosage forms: a plaster vehicle containing 12% to 40% salicylic acid, or a collodion-like solution with 12% to 17.6% salicylic acid.
