HPV is spread through dermatological contact with an affected area, usually during vaginal or anal sex, but also by simple sexual touching (without penetration). Infection can also be spread when sharing sex toys. Even if it happens that the immune system fights the virus by itself, the recurrence rate of genital warts is relatively high.

This infection is less known than other STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhoea), but the human papillomavirus affects a substantial number of people.

About 70,000 cases are recorded each year. But as the virus can sometimes be asymptomatic, it is likely that the number of people with HPV is much higher.

During periods when warts manifest, they can be treated with antiviral drugs such as Warticon. The active component of the drug can limit virus from spreading in the body, destroying its cells and preventing their multiplication. This process destroys warts’ cells and promotes regeneration of healthy cells.

What is the active component

The main active component of Warticon is a chemical called podophyllotoxin. This is an antiviral present in the Podophyllum plant, but may also be formulated synthetically by the use of alcoholic substances.

Concerning the treatment of human papillomavirus, this active ingredient promotes a breach in the tissue of the virus and interferes with the cell division. This action will stop the spread of active cells and destroy those that are already weakened. This allows new healthy cells to appear in the place where the skin was previously contaminated with warts.

How to use Warticon?
