Podophyllotoxinum is a medication used for the treatment of external genital warts and condylomata acuminata caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection.
It is a cytotoxic agent that works by inhibiting cell division, leading to the death of infected cells.

The medication is available as a topical solution or cream and should be applied directly to the affected lesions as directed by a doctor.
Treatment with podophyllotoxinum is effective in reducing the size and number of warts but may require multiple applications for optimal results.

Common side effects include local irritation, redness, burning sensation, or pain at the application site.
Patients should avoid excessive application or use on healthy skin, as this may cause tissue damage.

It is important for patients to strictly follow their doctor's instructions and avoid sexual contact during treatment to prevent the spread of infection.
Podophyllotoxinum is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women without prior medical consultation.
