Why is Wartec prescribed?

Podophyllotoxin (Wartec) cream is prescribed for the treatment of warts on the external surface of the genitals or around the anus in men and women. However, it is not suitable for warts found on mucous membranes of the genital area or the anus.

What does it do?

Genital warts are a type of sexually transmitted infection that can either appear as small bumps or large clusters. The symptoms of genital warts may include itching or discomfort in the 12genitals and bleeding during intercourse. Podophyllotoxin belongs to a drug class called antimitotics and it works by invading the tissue of the wart, disrupts cell division, and prevents growth until the wart detaches from the skin surface.

How should I apply it?

Wartec and its generic equivalents are currently available as a 0.15% cream. Avoid getting Wartec into your eyes or mouth.

The dosage strength depends on every patient’s condition and the doctor’s prescription. It is imperative that you do not self-medicate and only use this drug after consulting with your doctor or pharmacist to determine the best dosage and dosing schedule for the treatment of your condition.

What if I missed a dose?

The desired effects of prescribed medications will only be achieved if used properly. As much as possible, strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed dosing schedule. However, if you miss a dose, apply it immediately and adjust the time of your next dose depending on your doctor’s advice. Never apply two doses at the same time just to make up for your missed dose.

What are the special precautions before applying Wartec?

Before applying Podophyllotoxin, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any allergies to food or to the drug itself as it may contain several inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or problems.

Podophyllotoxin may cause harmful effects when applied to healthy skin. Exercise caution when applying the medication.

Avoid sexual contact or use condoms when using Podophyllotoxin to prevent further spread of genital warts.
