Podofilox is a topical prescription medication used to treat external genital and perianal warts, also known as Condyloma acuminatum. It works by destroying the wart tissue over time, gradually causing the warts to dry, crust over, and fall off. Podofilox is a patient-applied solution that allows for discreet at-home treatment of a condition that can otherwise be uncomfortable and stigmatizing.
Podofilox should only be applied to external areas and should not be used on open wounds or mucous membranes.
