Podowart Paint (Podophyllum Resin) x10ml

Podowart Paint, containing Podophyllum Resin, is a specialized topical medication designed to treat warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Its active ingredient, podophyllotoxin, works by inhibiting the growth of wart-causing viruses, offering an effective solution for external wart removal.

Uses

Podowart Paint is primarily used for treating external warts caused by HPV infection. It’s specifically designed for targeted application on wart-affected areas where precise treatment is needed, particularly for genital warts and common skin warts.

Benefits

• Effectively treats HPV-induced warts
• Provides a non-invasive treatment option
• Allows for precise application on affected areas
• Helps prevent the spread of warts
• Can lead to complete removal with proper use
• Works through direct antiviral action
• Requires minimal application frequency
• Targets wart tissue specifically
• Clinically proven effectiveness

How It Works

Podowart Paint’s active ingredient, podophyllotoxin, interferes with cell division and replication of the HPV virus. It binds to tubulin proteins, preventing viral proliferation and stopping wart growth. This causes the infected tissue to necrotize and eventually leads to the wart’s removal from the body.

Dosage

Always avoid contact with healthy skin. Treatment may be repeated weekly if necessary, for up to 4-6 weeks.

Duration of Action

Podowart Paint begins working immediately upon application. The solution should be washed off after the recommended time (1-4 hours). Visible results typically appear within 1-2 weeks of initial treatment. Complete wart removal usually requires 3-6 weeks of regular treatment, though individual response varies.

Side Effects

Common side effects include mild burning, stinging, or irritation at the application site. Some patients experience temporary redness or inflammation. Less common effects include skin peeling or minor pain. Severe burns, allergic reactions, or persistent irritation require immediate medical attention and discontinuation.

Warning

Apply only to warts; strictly avoid contact with healthy skin. Do not use on open wounds, broken skin, inflamed areas, or mucous membranes. Discontinue use and seek medical advice if severe irritation occurs. Not recommended for facial warts or moles. Potential for systemic absorption exists if used on large areas or with excessive frequency.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Podowart Paint is contraindicated during pregnancy due to potential systemic absorption and risk to the fetus. Use during breastfeeding is not recommended as safety has not been established. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should consult a healthcare provider for alternative wart treatments.

Interaction

• May increase skin sensitivity when used with other topical medications
• Can cause severe irritation if combined with acids or retinoids
• Potential for increased absorption when used with occlusive dressings
• May interfere with healing when used alongside wound care products
• Can cause chemical burns if mixed with alcohol-based products

Precaution

Clean and dry the affected area before application. Use provided applicator or cotton swab—never fingers—to apply. Wash hands thoroughly before and after application. If accidental contact with healthy skin occurs, rinse immediately with cool water. Protect treated areas from sun exposure. Store medication away from children and heat sources.

Important Information

Podowart Paint is for external use only. Regular follow-ups with healthcare provider are recommended to monitor treatment progress. Complete clearing may require multiple treatments. Do not use for longer than recommended period without medical supervision. Keep out of reach of children. Store at room temperature away from direct light. Discard unused portion after treatment course is complete.
