Description
Podophyllin Cream 0.15% is a topical medication used primarily for the treatment of warts, including genital warts and certain other skin growths caused by viral infections. It belongs to the class of antimitotic agents.
The cream works by inhibiting cell division in the wart tissue, leading to the destruction of the abnormal cells.
It is applied directly to the affected area, typically as directed by a healthcare professional. The low concentration (0.15%) makes it suitable for sensitive areas, with careful application limited to the lesions.
The common form is a topical cream in a 20-gram tube.
Dosage instructions usually involve applying a thin layer to the wart once or twice daily, avoiding surrounding healthy skin. Treatment duration depends on response and medical advice.
Side effects may include mild irritation, redness, or burning. It is contraindicated in pregnancy, breastfeeding, and in individuals with hypersensitivity to podophyllin.
Proper application and medical supervision are important for safe use.
