About Warticon
Warticon is a topical prescription treatment used to treat anogenital warts. It contains the active ingredient podophyllotoxin, which works as an anti-mitotic to prevent viral warts cells caused by HPV, from growing. In the end, the warts cell die to be replaced by healthy cells. Warticon is a recommended cream for genital warts, particularly those that appear under the foreskin of the uncircumcised penis or on the shaft of a circumcised penis. In women, genital warts appear on the external parts of the Vagina.

The information provided in the summary table is for reference only. It is important to consult a qualified healthcare professional before starting any genital warts treatment, including Warticon.
How does Warticon work?
Warticon is both an anti-viral as well as an anti-mitotic treatment. When applied, it works by preventing the wart cells from dividing and multiplying, which can worsen the symptoms. Podophyllotoxin, which is responsible for fighting the HPV virus itself, diminishes the wart cells, and as they die and shed, new cells grow in their place to reveal healthy skin.
How effective Is Warticon in treating genital warts?
Warticon contains one of the most biologically active components that has been used for centuries due to its medicinal properties. The active ingredient podophyllotoxin, also known as podophyllum resin topical, is a strong plant extract that falls under a category of anti-virals. This anti-viral (podophyllotoxin) attacks and eradicates HPV, causing Warticon cells to die and a new healthy skin to grow within four to five weeks.
Directions
What dose should I choose?
Warticon is a prescription-only medication and comes in the form of a solution or a cream. Each of these variants contains a difference in the strength of the active ingredient, which is why it's important to follow the doctor’s prescription when using Warticon. Nonetheless, both the Warticon solution and cream are similarly effective.
Warticon is available as a 5g tube of white cream or a 3ml container of blue solution.
How should I apply Warticon
Warticon is a topical treatment and should never be administered through the mouth. One complete treatment course is made up of three consecutive days of each week. For these three days, you should apply the treatment in the morning and evening, ensuring that 12 hours have passed between each application. Do not apply the cream for the next four days but start your next course of treatment after the 4 days have passed. Do this if you have warts remaining after the first seven days of applying the treatment.
How to apply;
Start by washing the affected areas with soap and water. Dry the area with your towel. Do not use another’s to avoid spreading the infection, as warts are contagious. Use the mirror provided in the package to view the area as you apply the treatment. Use a clean fingertip to apply and coat each wart with the cream. Rub the cream gently into the wart, taking extra caution not to get the cream/solution on healthy skin. However, if you do, wash the area with soap and water.
Wash your hands thoroughly and seal back the tube tightly. You do not need a plaster to cover the application site
