Some items may interact with your medicine. What should I watch for while using this medicine?Visit your doctor or health care professional for regular checks on your progress. This medicine is not a cure. New warts may develop during or after treatment.Tell your doctor or health care professional if your symptoms do not start to get better within one week.

The only way to prevent infecting others with the HPV virus (the virus that causes genital warts) is to avoid direct skin- to- skin contact. If warts are visible in the genital area, sexual contact should be avoided until the warts are treated. Experts advise that using latex condoms during sexual contact may reduce, but not entirely prevent, infecting others. Avoid contact with the eyes. If eye contact occurs, patients should immediately flush the eye with large quantities of water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. This medicine contains alcohol and is flammable. Do not use near heat, open flame, or while smoking. |
