What this medicine is for
Lactic acid is a medicine in the “dermatological topical” category. This treatment is applied to the skin to act locally on the skin condition concerned.
In the case of Lactic acid, this means: Keratolytic used on the skin. How it is used is determined case by case with the professional who prescribes it.
Under which brands it is found
Lactic acid is used in about 4 presentations listed in France. It is available under several brand names and as generics.
- Duofilm
- Kerafilm
- Prismasol
- Verrufilm
Generics and the original brand are equivalent for the active substance; only the appearance, the name or the excipients may differ.
Do you need a supplement? No.
Nothing to add here. Lactic acid falls under none of our products, and no single-ingredient supplement is credibly warranted as support. Rather than placing a product on principle, we leave this page without a purchase recommendation. If you are otherwise on a statin, an antidiabetic, a PPI, a contraceptive or a beta-blocker, that is where we can be useful.
