Clinical Pharmacology: Salicylic acid has been shown to produce desquamation of the horny layer of skin while not affecting qualitative or quantitative changes in the structure of the viable epidermis 1,2 . The mechanism of action has been attributed to the dissolution of intercellular cement substances 3 . In a study of the percutaneous absorption of salicylic acid 6% in four patients with extensive active psoriasis, Taylor and Halprin 4 showed that peak serum salicylate levels never exceeded 5 mg/100 ml even though more than 60% of the applied salicylic acid was absorbed.
With Localized tissue retention for Salicylic Acid 10% with minimal systemic plasma half-life residence kinetics and < 5% transdermal or mucosal systemic uptake from Salicylic Acid 10% bioavailability, Salicylic Acid 10% undergoes local esterase/enzymatic cleavage of salicylic acid 10% with minimal hepatic cytochrome burden and establishes therapeutic activity over initial local symptom modulation in 30–90 minutes; full tissue response over 1–3 weeks (salicylic acid 10%).
