Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Podofilox Work?
- Inhibiting mitosis: It interferes with the formation of the mitotic spindle in cell division, leading to the destruction of rapidly dividing cells, such as those found in warts.
- Causing local tissue necrosis: This action results in the destruction of wart tissue and aids in the resolution of genital warts.
Common Dosages
- Topical solution: Common concentrations include 0.5%.
- Topical gel: Also commonly available at 0.5% concentration.
Typical Dosing
- The usual recommended dosing is to apply a thin layer of Podofilox directly to the warts twice daily for up to 3 days. This cycle can be repeated after a 4-day rest period, if necessary.
Typical Dosing
FDA Approved Indications
- Topical treatment of external genital warts.
Who Shouldn't Take Podofilox?
