PODOFILOX GEL - TOPICAL

(poh-DOFF-ih-lox)

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Condylox

USES: This medication is used on the skin to treat external genital warts.

HOW TO USE: This medication is for topical use only. Apply it on the warts pointed out by your doctor. It is usually applied once in the morning and again in the evening for 3 days followed by a 4 day rest period. If the warts do not go away, then this cycle is repeated up to 4 times. Contact your doctor for other options if the warts do not go away after 4 weeks of treatment.

To apply, use the provided applicator tip or your finger. Apply a small amount of medication to the wart to cover it. Allow the gel to dry. Wash your hands thoroughly afterwards. Be careful with this medication because it can irritate normal skin around the application site.

Do not use large amounts, apply more often or use for a longer period than directed. Your condition will not clear faster, and the chance for side effects may be increased.

Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. If contact occurs, immediately wash with plenty of water and contact your doctor.
