Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although they do not occur in all people.

You may have the following reactions in or around the area you are applying Duofilm: allergic reactions, inflammation, pain, skin irritation, burning sensation, redness, itching, discoloration of the skin.

Accidental application of Duofilm on areas of normal skin can cause the appearance of blisters, peeling of the skin.

If you have accidentally swallowed Duofilm, used it too often, for long periods of time or over very large areas, then your body may be absorbing too much salicylic acid. This could lead to salicylate poisoning. Related to this, some of the common symptoms that may occur include feeling thirsty, ringing in the ears or deafness, feeling sick, feeling tired, rapid breathing, dizziness, warm hands and feet, or unusual mood or thinking. Discontinue use of Duofilm and consult your doctor if you experience these or any other symptoms.
