How should I use this medication?
This medication is for external use only. Do not take by mouth. This medication may be used to remove warts on areas of the skin around the vagina or penis and between the rectum and the genitals. It should not be used to treat warts that are inside the rectum, vagina, or penis. Follow the directions on the prescription label. Wash hands before and after use. Apply the gel to the specific wart as instructed by your care team. Use the applicator provided or a cotton-tipped applicator. Applicators should not be re-used. Make sure that the gel is dry before normal, untreated skin comes into contact with the treated skin. This medication can cause severe irritation of normal skin. If contact with normal skin occurs, immediately flush the area thoroughly with water. Avoid contact with the eyes. If eye contact occurs, immediately flush the eye with large quantities of water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Do not use this medication more often or for longer than directed.
