Warticon is a topical treatment that is directly applied to genital warts on and around the genitals. Because genital warts are caused by the HPV as well as maintained by it, the active component does not target the wart tissue directly (which wouldn't be effective in the long run) but rather targets the HPV itself. The symptoms go away as the virus is unable to divide and spread, and the warts die. Over time, wart tissue dies off and healthy tissue grows in its place.

Description

What is Warticon Cream?

Warticon is a topical medication available as a cream or solution, used to treat external genital warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It contains the active ingredient podophyllotoxin, which is a plant-derived compound that effectively targets the cells that make up warts, causing them to shrink and disappear over time. Warticon is commonly prescribed for the treatment of small, soft genital warts, and is suitable for adult use. It is an easy-to-apply treatment that can be used at home, offering a non-invasive solution for managing this condition.

How Does Warticon Work?

Warticon works by targeting and stopping the growth of cells in genital warts. The active ingredient, podophyllotoxin, acts as a cytotoxic agent, meaning it kills the cells that make up the warts. By stopping the replication of these cells, Warticon gradually causes the wart tissue to break down and disappear. The treatment is typically applied directly to the warts twice a day for three days, followed by a rest period of four days. Most warts begin to shrink and fall off within a few weeks, with full results often visible after multiple cycles of treatment.

Warnings

  • Warticon cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth. If contact occurs, flush the area thoroughly with water.
  • Do not use Warticon Cream if you are allergic to metronidazole or any of the other ingredients in the gel.
  • Before using Warticon cream inform your healthcare provider of any underlying medical conditions you have.
  • Inform your doctor of your pregnancy and breastfeeding status.
  • If irritation or sensitization develops, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider.

Warticon Cream and Solution should be used as directed by your doctor. It is important to follow all instructions carefully.

  • The cream or solution is applied to the wart and left in place for about 24 hours. It is then washed off and a new application is then made the following day.
  • This treatment should be continued for up to 14 days.
  • It is important to apply the cream or solution evenly to the entire wart surface.
  • Be sure to allow the cream or solution to dry completely before covering the area with clothing.
