Overview
Podosal Paint 10ml is a topical wart treatment. Its active ingredient is podophyllum resin 20% w/v, supplied as a liquid in a 10ml amber glass bottle. The preparation is intended for specific wart conditions and should only be used on the advice and prescription of a doctor.
Mechanism of Action: How It Works
Podophyllum resin has an antimitotic action, meaning it interferes with cell division. When applied to suitable wart tissue, it disrupts the multiplication of cells, causing the treated tissue to break down. Because it can also damage healthy tissue, accurate application and appropriate treatment limits are essential.
Uses and Indications
Podosal Paint may be prescribed for;
Certain external anogenital warts
Other specifically assessed wart conditions where the clinician considers podophyllum resin appropriate.

Possible Side Effects
