Wartec Cream Information:

Genitalwarts exist as either small flesh colored bumps or cauliflower shapedgrowths around the genital area. In some cases they can be very painfuland itchy. They may go away on their own but medical treatment isneeded if they are persistent. Wartec cream is an effective medicine totreat genital warts, also known as condylomata acuminata.Podophyllotoxin, the main ingredient in Wartec cream, has been usedwidely for the treatment of genital warts.Wartec is an anti-mitotic agent i.e. it prevents mitosis (cell divisionprocess in which one parent cell divides into two daughter cells withthe same characteristics as the parent cell). Thus it prevents thecells in the warts to grow, causing the warts to disappear. Wartec isnot a cure for diseases that cause warts, rather it’s an easy solutionto get rid of warts in a short time.

It takes usually one course of 3 days to get rid of the warts. Howeveras mentioned earlier, Wartec is not a cure for the infection whichcauses these warts i.e. human papillomavirus (HMV). The toxic effect ofthis cream on the wart tissue prevents their growth by mitosis and thuscauses them to die out and allows the skin tissue to grow healthily.The cells contain a globular (round, circular) shaped protein calledtubulin. The molecules of this protein assemble to form a tube shapedstructure called microtubules, which maintain the cell’s shape andgrowth. Wartec contains Podophyllotoxin, which binds itself to theprotein (tubulin) and thus prevents it from assembling to form the tubeshaped structure. Thus the tissues of the warts decay and disappear,allowing the healthy skin tissue to grow.

Wartec is for external use only and should be applied twice a day forthree days, directly on the genital warts. Only enough cream should beused to cover the warts completely. If warts persist then the coursecan be repeated after 4 days. The course should not be repeated morethan 4 times, hence if after the fourth course the warts persist, thena doctor should be consulted.

Wartec has only mild side effects, which is also a reason for itspopularity in the treatment of genital warts. Side effects may includeredness of skin, itching, burning sensations, skin irritation and pain.These side effects may only be temporary and may disappear on theirown, however if the symptoms persist then professional medical helpshould be sought.
