Podofilox works by interrupting this process at the cellular level and targeting the life cycle of viral cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cell division disruption:<\/strong> Podofilox binds to the microtubules that normally dissect DNA during the process of cell division known as mitosis. By occupying the microtubules, the cell is unable to divide properly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tissue necrosis: <\/strong>Wart tissue begins to die because infected cells can neither replicate nor maintain a healthy structure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Course progression: <\/strong>As the medication works within your body, warts will likely change from fleshy and skin-colored to dry, crusted, or scabby. They will eventually slough off, and healthy skin will be restored at the wart&#8217;s original growth site.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"quick-facts-card\">\n  <table class=\"quick-facts-table\">\n    <colgroup>\n      <col\/>\n      <col\/>\n    <\/colgroup>\n\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th colspan=\"2\">Quick Facts<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <td><strong>Common Brands<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Condylox<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n\n      <tr>\n         <td><strong>Drug Class<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Antimitotal Topical Skin Product<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n\n      <tr>\n        <td><strong>Generic Status<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Generic version available<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n\n      <tr>\n         <td><strong>Availability<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Prescription only<\/td>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dosing\">Dosing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to be effective, podofilox application must follow a specific schedule to eradicate the wart while preserving healthy surrounding skin. Providers have dubbed this schedule as the &#8220;3 days on, 4 days off&#8221; cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Application: <\/strong>Standard guidelines recommend applying Podofilox twice a day for 3 consecutive days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rest: <\/strong>After 3 days of active applications, providers typically require a 4-day rest period without any applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Repetition: <\/strong>Your doctor will instruct you to repeat this 7-day cycle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maximum duration: <\/strong>Providers usually end the course after 4 treatment cycles. If warts have not cleared up during this time, your doctor may recommend alternative treatment measures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Dosage instructions may vary, but the following guidelines apply to most patients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>No more than 0.5 milliliters (mL) of solution or 0.5 grams (g) of gel per day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Treating an area no larger than 10 square centimeters at a time<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> Dosing information below is educational only.
