Condylox Gel (Podofilox)
Condylox Gel (Podofilox)
Condylox Gel (Podofilox) is a medication used to treat external genital warts and warts around the anus caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). As a cytotoxic agent, Podofilox works by stopping the growth of wart cells, causing them to die off and shrink gradually. This targeted action helps clear up warts and reduces the chance of their recurrence when used correctly.
Why Choose Condylox Gel (Podofilox)?
- Effective Wart Reduction: Targets and reduces genital and anal warts caused by HPV, shrinking them over time.
- Simple Topical Application: Convenient and easy-to-apply gel form for precise application to affected areas.
- Direct Action: Acts directly on wart cells, helping to minimize wart growth and recurrence.
- Prescription Safety: Available through prescription, allowing for proper guidance and minimized misuse.
How to Use Condylox Gel (Podofilox)?
- Clean and Dry the Area: Wash the affected area with soap and water, then pat dry thoroughly before application.
- Apply a Thin Layer: Using the applicator or your finger, apply a thin layer of Condylox Gel to each wart. Avoid applying it to surrounding healthy skin.
- Use as Directed: Typically applied twice daily (morning and evening) for three consecutive days, followed by a rest period of four days. Repeat as directed by your healthcare provider.
- Wash Hands Thoroughly: After application, wash your hands to prevent the medication from spreading to other areas or people.
