Warticon Medical Information
Warticon Cream contains a medicine called podophyllotoxin. This is a plant extract which belongs to a group of medicines called ‘antivirals’.
Warticon Cream is used to treat genital warts.
It is used for warts on the penis in men or external warts on the vagina in women.
Using Warticon Cream
• Apply Warticon Cream twice a day, in the morning and evening (every 12 hours) for 3 days.
• Do not apply any cream for the next 4 days. This completes one treatment course.
• When you apply Warticon cream, after two or three days you may notice mild irritation of the areas treated. This shows that Warticon Cream is starting to work. However, Warticon cream can cause severe skin reactions. If this occurs, stop using Warticon Cream and seek medical attention.
• If you still have any warts remaining 7 days after you started using the cream, repeat the treatment course (twice a day for 3 days followed by 4 days where you do not use the cream).
• A maximum of 4 treatment courses may be applied. • If any warts remain after 4 treatment courses consult your doctor.
How to apply Warticon Cream
1. Wash the affected areas with soap and water. Dry the area gently with a clean towel.
2. Using a fingertip, apply Warticon Cream to cover each wart. Use only enough cream to cover each wart.
3. Rub the cream into the wart. Be careful not to get the cream onto healthy skin. If this happens, wash the cream off with soap and water.
4. Wash your hands thoroughly.
5. Make sure you have screwed the lid back on tightly.
Warticon Cream is only to be used on the affected skin.
Do not apply Warticon Cream to warts on the inside of the penis, vagina or rectum.
Warticon Cream should only be applied to warts on the outside (external) skin.
Avoid applying Warticon Cream to healthy skin surrounding the wart.
What to avoid while using Warticon Cream
• It is advisable to avoid sex during treatment with Warticon Cream. You should wait until your warts have gone and your skin has healed
• Genital warts are contagious. You can give them to, or get them from, a sexual partner.
If you do have sex, you must use a condom to help prevent the spread of genital warts and to protect your partner from coming into contact with podophyllotoxin (since it is irritant).
• If you are allergic (hypersensitive) to podophyllotoxin or any of the other ingredients of Warticon Cream
• If your warts are on areas of broken/damaged or bleeding skin
• If you are already using another medicine containing podophyllotoxin
• Pregnancy
