The application of sanguinaria canadensis (the main active ingredient in SX) to the sarcoid causes the body's immune system to react and reject the "atypical" cells. The reaction induced by the application of the product may result in the appearance of pus and can be associated with an inflammatory reaction that leads to the destruction of the tumour. Plant extracts including Bloodroot, Zinc chloride. On sarcoids that cannot be covered with a dressing : Apply SX daily for 5 days and observe the immune response. The sarcoid gradually changes, dries out and eventually falls off. If the sarcoid does not completely disappear after the first application, a further 5-day application may be necessary.

A thick dry crust has formed which should be ready to fall off. If the scab does not appear to fall off within 7 days, reapply SX a second time.
