Warticon

Warticon is a prescribed topical treatment for genital warts (mainly small bumps) caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Available as a topical cream or solution, it is applied to the affected area (on or around the penis or around the vagina). The active ingredient is a strong antiviral plant extract called podophyllotoxin, which is a dividing cell metaphase inhibitor that binds to at least one of the tubulin-binding sites. This union prevents the polymerization of tubulin, a necessary process for the assembly of microtubules.
