Description
Podophyllin Cream 10% (local) is a topical medication used primarily to treat genital warts and other skin growths caused by viruses. It belongs to the class of antimitotic and cytotoxic agents.
The cream works by inhibiting cell division in the wart tissue, leading to its destruction.
It is applied directly to the affected area, usually once or twice daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. The cream should be limited to the lesions and not applied to healthy skin to avoid irritation.
Common form is a topical cream containing 10% podophyllin.
Side effects may include local skin irritation, redness, burning, or inflammation. It is contraindicated during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and in patients with known hypersensitivity to podophyllin.
Proper application and adherence to the prescribed usage are important to minimize side effects and avoid systemic toxicity.
