Genital warts caused by HPV are one of the most common forms of STI. While they are not usually a cause for concern health-wise, they can be upsetting or embarrassing to live with.
It is crucial to seek a diagnosis and find an effective treatment for genital warts to minimise the risk of passing the infection on to sexual partners. Warticon is one of the most effective ways to treat genital warts and is recommended by doctors and healthcare professionals across the globe.
What Is Warticon?
Warticon is a topical cream or solution used to treat genital warts. It is not for internal use and should only be used on the penis and external areas of the vagina. Genital warts occur when a person comes into contact with HPV (human papillomavirus). HPV is a virus with over 100 strains, many of which cause genital warts.
Warticon is made using a plant extract called podophyllotoxin, a potent antiviral. This active ingredient treats HPV. If HPV is the cause of genital warts, once this root cause is treated, warts will die and be replaced with healthy tissue.
What Is Warticon Cream Used For?
Warticon is used to treat and eliminate genital warts. Genital warts are caused by HPV, and both warts and the virus are highly contagious. Anyone with a case of genital warts should avoid sex until treatment is completed. Often, genital warts will be so small they aren’t visible to the naked eye. As a result, you may have to visit a doctor or sexual health clinic where a medical professional can examine you for signs of genital warts.
If genital warts are present, your doctor may prescribe Warticon cream to help combat the virus. You can also buy Warticon here at Cloud Pharmacy, delivered straight to your door in a discreet package after a short online consultation.
Some of the key symptoms of genital warts include:
- Itching
- Minor pain
- Fleshy bumps or growths
How Does Warticon Work?
Warticon has an active ingredient called podophyllotoxin, which is an antiviral and should be applied directly to the affected area. It works by treating the HPV virus, which is the root cause of most genital wart cases. When applied topically, it penetrates the cells of the wart and kills off the wart and HPV cells. The wart will then die and fall away, leaving healthy tissue to grow in its place.
How Effective Is Warticon?
Warticon is one of the most effective topical treatments for genital warts available. Because Warticon cream attacks the root cause of the infection, rather than just the symptoms.
It is essential to use Warticon as directed by your healthcare professional to get the best results. The length of time Warticon takes to work can vary, and no treatment is guaranteed to work for all patients.
Aldara vs Warticon
Aldara works by modifying the immune response to genital warts. As a result, Aldara is typically better for preventing the recurrence of genital warts. Aldara however takes longer than Warticon to be effective at treating genital warts. Warticon can see results within four weeks, whereas Aldara requires up to 16 weeks to work. Warticon is also cheaper than Aldara, making it the ideal first choice for many people.
Warticon Reviews
Warticon has seen many positive reviews from satisfied patients. Generally, Warticon is praised for being highly effective. It has helped many people overcome genital warts and can have excellent results when applied correctly.
Most users also reported experiencing very few side effects when using the treatment. However, if you are using Warticon and do experience any side effects, then you should make an appointment with your doctor to discuss the matter further.
Can You Buy Warticon Over the Counter?
Warticon cannot be bought over the counter as it is a prescription treatment. You can get a prescription from Cloud Pharmacy after completing an online consultation which will be reviewed by one of our medical professionals. This allows you to have Warticon delivered directly to your door as soon as you need it.
Side Effects
Warticon Side Effects
As with most medications, Warticon has potential side effects. If you experience any side effects and are concerned, you should discuss your worries with your doctor or pharmacist. Usually, side effects do not mean that your genital warts are getting worse or that the treatment is not effective.
The most common side effects of Warticon include:
- Redness
- Itching
- Irritation
- Wearing of the skin where applied
- Burning
These side effects should be minor. If you notice any of the above side effects and they are severe, you should remove the Warticon from your skin and talk to your doctor as soon as possible. You should also contact your doctor if you experience any of the following more severe side effects:
- Stinging
- Pain
- Bleeding
- Swelling

Directions
How to Apply Warticon
Warticon is applied in treatment cycles of seven days each. A cycle consists of twice-daily applications 12 hours apart for three consecutive days, followed by four days of no treatment. You can repeat the cycles as needed for up to five cycles. You should not apply Warticon to healthy, unaffected skin, only to areas with genital warts.
While undergoing treatment, it is often best to avoid sexual activity. This is because genital warts and HPV are highly infectious. If you do engage in sexual activity, you should use a condom to reduce the chances of passing on the virus.
Warticon treatment comes in the form of a cream and a solution. The method of application changes depending on which type you use. Always thoroughly wash the affected area with soap and water before using either type of Warticon, and dry thoroughly.
When using Warticon cream, you should:
- Carefully apply the cream to the affected area only using your fingertip
- Ensure the cream is absorbed by rubbing it in gently
- Wash hands thoroughly after application
If you are using the Warticon solution, you should:
- Use a fresh applicator
- Use the loop end for smaller warts or the spatula end for larger warts or clusters
- Dip the applicator into the solution and apply to all affected areas, avoiding healthy skin
- Allow the solution to dry thoroughly
- Wash hands thoroughly after application
How Long Does Warticon Take To Work?
Warticon should work effectively within four weeks. You should ensure you treat the affected area as directed to get the best results. If your warts have not cleared up within four weeks, you should consult your doctor or visit a sexual health clinic to ask about the next steps.
