Warticon Solution (3ml)

What is Warticon Solution?

Warticon Solution is a topical treatment for genital warts in both men and women who are over 18 years of age.

It contains the active ingredient podophyllotoxin, which is a plant extract that belongs to a group of medicines known as antivirals.

To buy Warticon Solution, you must have been prescribed it. It is also available as a cream.

What is Warticon Solution used to treat?

Warticon can be used as a genital warts treatment by both men and women.

It is a discreet and simple topical solution to use and should be applied twice a day. When used correctly, it should have fully eradicated genital warts within four to five weeks of treatment. Speak to your doctor if you have used Warticon solution for this long and your genital warts have still not cleared. An alternative form of treatment may be more suitable.

Using a medicine such as this to treat genital warts comes with the risk that you may be left with some minor scarring. However, in most cases, the scarring will be far less noticeable compared to the scarring you could suffer if you leave this problem untreated.

Why is Warticon Solution prescribed to treat genital warts?

Warticon solution should be applied twice a day and can generally eliminate genital warts in between four and five weeks.

Clinical studies found that podophyllotoxin can effectively target and prevent the spread of HPV, both on its own or when used in combination with another medicine. 

How does Warticon Solution work?

Warticon Solution is used specifically for external vaginal warts in women and warts that appear on the foreskin of the penis in men.

You should apply Warticon Solution directly to genital warts and allow it to dry.

Genital warts are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV); this virus also works to keep them alive. Warticon's active ingredient targets the virus itself and attacks it, which stops the virus from spreading even further. When the virus has been killed off, the genital warts will also die.

In time, the wart tissue left behind will fall away on its own, allowing new and healthy tissue to grow instead.

Warticon Cream or Solution?

Both the cream and solution versions of Warticon can provide very effective treatment for genital warts. Warticon Cream is white and soaks in when applied to the skin. In contrast, the solution is blue and may make the site of application blue while using it.

However, the solution is more likely to be recommended for men. It comes with a spatula and may be easier to apply to the male genitals. Similarly, the cream is usually recommended for women as they may find it easier to apply.

One version of the medicine will not cure genital warts at a significantly faster rate than the other, so the choice as to which you use is yours.

Who can use Warticon Solution?

Warticon is not a suitable treatment for everyone to use.

Do not use Warticon if any of the below applies to you:

• You are allergic to podophyllotoxin or any of the other ingredients contained in this solution
• You are already using any other medication that also contains podophyllotoxin
• Your warts are on an area of skin that is bleeding, damaged or broken

Speak to your doctor or pharmacist for guidance before using Warticon if your genital warts cover an area that is larger than 4 centimetres (approximately the size of a postage stamp). This treatment may need to be applied by a medical professional if this is the case.

Warticon should not be used as a treatment for warts in or around the anus. It should not be applied inside the penis or vagina.
