About Condylox (podofilox)

Condylox is a keratolytic drug, which interrupts the formation of keratin in the skin and/or breaks it down. This stops wart growth, and causes them to regress or fall off. Podofilox is usually prescribed as an external topical solution.

 

Condylox is used to treat genital warts and anal warts. Condylox is available only by prescription and is available in a generic formulation known as podofilox.

 

It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage that you are prescribed.

 

If you are prescribed Condylox, be sure to use it as directed by your doctor.

Condylox uses

Condylox is FDA-approved to treat anal and genital warts but may be prescribed off-label by your doctor to treat other conditions. It’s possible that your health care professional may prescribe it for other reasons not listed here. If you have questions about why a medication is prescribed, contact your doctor.

Anal or genital warts

Condylox is used to treat external genital warts and perianal warts. Warts, regardless of where they occur, are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). There are numerous subtypes of HPV and, generally, different subtypes prefer certain locations. Condylox gel is for external use only and should be applied using the applicator to minimize exposure to the surrounding healthy skin. Properly discard of used applicators.
