Warticon for Genital Warts
Warticon Solution or Cream is a topical medication used to treat and eliminate genital warts in adults. It contains the active ingredient podophyllotoxin, which is a plant extract that works by killing the human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes genital warts.
It stops the virus from multiplying and spreading. When the virus can't multiply, it dies and new, healthy tissue grows instead.
Warticon is suitable for treatment on the external skin of the penis, vagina, or surrounding area of the groin. It should not be used internally and is not recommended for use around the anus.
Why Warticon to treat genital warts?
- Non-invasive treatment that does not require surgery or other medical procedures.
- It is a relatively inexpensive treatment.
- One of the most effective treatments for clearing genital warts in most people.
- It is easy to use at home.
Genital warts
Genital warts are small, fleshy bumps that can appear on the genitals, anus, or inner thighs. They are caused by the HPV virus, which is a very common virus that can be transmitted through sexual contact (vaginal, anal, or oral sex, as well as by sharing sex toys).
How long does Warticon take to work?
Most people start to see results within a few weeks of using Warticon. However, it may take longer for some people to notice results.
If you follow the recommended course of treatment (two applications per day, 12 hours apart, for three consecutive days of each week), genital warts treated with Warticon should be fully eliminated within four to five weeks.
If you have not seen any improvement after four weeks of using Warticon Solution, talk to your doctor.
Is it safe and effective?
Warticon Solution or Cream is generally safe and one of the most effective treatments for genital warts. Because it targets the infection's root cause, not just the symptoms.
To get the best results from Warticon, follow your healthcare professional's instructions carefully. Warticon may take different amounts of time to work for different people, and no treatment is guaranteed to work for everyone.
How to use Warticon Solution
Warticon Solution is applied directly to the affected area using a dropper. The solution should be applied twice a day for three days in a row. After three days, stop treatment for four days. This cycle should be repeated for up to four weeks, or until the warts have cleared.
Warticon is not a suitable treatment for you if:
- You are allergic to podophyllotoxin or any of the other ingredients
- The skin around or covering your wart (or warts) is damaged, broken, or bleeding
- You have warts covering an area greater than 4cm squared (around the size of a postage stamp)
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding
While using Warticon, avoid:
- Using the application on healthy skin
- Getting the application in your eyes or mouth
- Using the application on the inside of the vagina, penis, or rectum
- Covering any treated areas with plasters or dressings
Side effects of Warticon Solution
The most common side effects of Warticon Solution are mild and go away on their own. These side effects can include:
- Skin irritation
- Burning
- Itching
- Redness
- Swelling
Less common side effects can include:
- Blisters
- Pain
- Bleeding
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
If you experience any of these side effects, stop using Warticon Solution and contact your doctor.
Recommendations
Genital warts are caused by HPV, a virus that can be transmitted through sexual contact. Avoid sexual activity until treatment is completed to prevent spreading the virus to others.
Visit a doctor or sexual health clinic for examination and treatment.
Warticon cream may be prescribed to help combat the virus. Key symptoms of genital warts include itching, minor pain, and fleshy bumps or growths.

How can you recognize genital warts?
External genital warts are noticed by examining the area visually or by touch. Genital warts often appear as small, flesh-colored growths or bumps in the genital or anal area.
They can be single or in clusters, flat or raised. While they are usually painless, they may cause itching or discomfort. If you suspect you have genital warts, seek medical advice for proper diagnosis and guidance.
What should my partner do if I have genital warts?
Your partner should visit their local sexual health clinic for an examination. You both should avoid sexual contact until both of your cases of genital warts have cleared up. If that's not possible, use a condom to reduce the risk of transmission.
Can HPV and genital warts be fully cured?
Unfortunately, there is no cure for HPV. Genital wart treatment removes the external warts but it does not kill the HPV virus. HPV can stay inactive and return later, but it doesn't always come back.

Genital warts very rarely cause complications during pregnancy, however, the size and number of warts can grow. If you have genital warts or think you may have been exposed to genital warts and you are or may be pregnant, you should see your GP for further advice and treatment.

Aldara vs Warticon
Aldara and Warticon are both topical treatments for genital warts, but they work in different ways. Aldara modifies the immune system to fight the HPV virus that causes genital warts.
This makes Aldara more effective at preventing the recurrence of genital warts, but it also takes longer to work, up to 16 weeks. Warticon, on the other hand, directly kills the HPV virus, so it can see results within four weeks. Warticon is also cheaper than Aldara.
