Condyline 0.5% Solution

Condyline is a topical treatment for genital warts that is prescribed to adults only. In most cases, Condyline improves genital warts within just three days, making it one of the most popular and effective treatments available.

The treatment comes in a 0.5% solution that is a transparent liquid and is applied directly to genital warts. Condyline contains the active ingredient podophyllotoxin, a medicine derived from the podophyllum plant.

Condyline 0.5% solution is used to treat genital warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection (STI), affecting millions of people across the world annually. The virus, which is more common in women than men, is usually transmitted by vaginal or anal sex. However, it can also be spread through non-penetrative contact such as touching or rubbing against the genitals of someone who had HPV.

Genital warts develop around the penis, vagina or anus. They can also grow in the mouth or throat after oral sex with an infected person. They appear as small growths that are brown, flesh-coloured or pink, and can cause itching, discomfort, and sometimes bleeding. Clusters of genital warts can have a cauliflower shape. Warts can sometimes be hard to see, due to their small size and flat shape. In other cases – such as in people with a suppressed immune system - genital warts can multiply into clusters.

Although genital warts aren’t typically serious, they may cause uncomfortable symptoms and be unsightly. They may also grow larger if left untreated. Treatments such as Condyline 0.5% solution allow you to remove genital warts safely and quickly.

Podophyllotoxin, the active ingredient in Condyline 0.5% solution, works to eliminate genital warts around the penis, vagina and anus. It does this by entering the nucleus of wart cells and stopping cell division and multiplication. This stops genital warts from growing and eventually kills them off. The dead wart cells are replaced by new healthy skin cells.

Research shows that Condyline 0.5% solution has up to a 92% success rate in clearing genital warts completely. As a fast-acting genital warts treatment that can stop warts from being contagious in just five days. It can control outbreaks of genital warts, stopping the lesions from growing and spreading, completely killing warts in a matter of weeks.

Condyline may require several weekly treatment cycles to be fully effective.

Warticon is Condyline in cream form. The two medicines contain the same active ingredient – podophyllotoxin – and are both used for treating genital warts. Both Condyline and Warticon are prescription-only medications which are not available over the counter in the UK.

Condyline and Warticon work in the same way, penetrating tissue and stopping the wart cells from multiplying and growing, eventually killing the wart cells and allowing healthy cells to grow back in their place. The two medications are both applied directly to the affected area of the penis, vagina or anus twice per day for three consecutive days. Treatment cycles are then continued the following week if needed.

Like Condyline, Aldara is a topical skin product that is used to treat genital warts. The two medications are both only available with a prescription in the UK. While Condyline comes in a liquid solution, Aldara is a cream. The two medications have different active ingredients.

Condyline contains podophyllotoxin, an antimitotic that prevents viral wart cells from dividing and multiplying, and Aldara contains imiquimod, an immune response humidifier that works by increasing the activity of your immune system.

Aldara – which is typically used as an alternative to cryotherapy (freezing) - also has several uses besides being a genital warts treatment, including; treating precancerous skin growths that develop due to too much sunlight exposure (small basal cell carcinomas) and treating slow-growing types of skin cancer (actinic keratoses).

Condyline and Aldara are both applied three times a week for genital warts in the same way, covering affected areas of the penis, vagina or anus.

A study which compared the effectiveness of podophyllotoxin (Condyline) and imiquimod (Aldara) found that there was a “considerable disparity” between how well the two medications achieve complete clearance of genital warts. Podophyllotoxin (Condyline) 0.5% solution was found to be superior, with a 92.6% probability of completely clearing lesions compared with 56.1% for imiquimod 5% cream.

A large number of users have commented online that Condyline 0.5% solution was able to stop discomfort from their genital warts in a few days, and in many cases, clear them completely. Other users have said that their genital warts were gone in weeks. Reviewers online have reported that they started using Condyline due to alternative treatments such as Aldara being ineffective or giving them side effects.

Users have cautioned to take great care to only apply Condyline to warts themselves, as the solution will burn if it comes into contact with non-affected areas.
