How Long Will I Need to Treat?
Most people require a course of treatment over several weeks rather than a single in-office visit. The length of treatment depends on which option your doctor chooses for you. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, most cases of EGWs respond within 3 months.
Once the EGWs have been removed, it is possible for them to return. This may happen even if you are very careful, because HPV can stay in the body—for weeks or years—without symptoms.
Important Product Safety Information
VEREGEN® Ointment, 15% is a medicine for skin use only (topical) for the treatment of warts on the outside of the genitals and around the outside of the anus. It is not a treatment for warts in the vagina, cervix, or inside the anus. Your doctor may recommend examination and screening tests (such as a Pap smear) to evaluate these areas.
VEREGEN® has not been evaluated to treat urethral, intra-vaginal, cervical, rectal, or intra-anal human papilloma viral disease and should not be used to treat these conditions. Avoid use of VEREGEN® on open wounds. Do not expose skin that has been treated with VEREGEN® to the sun or ultraviolet light because VEREGEN® has not been tested in these conditions. Safety and efficacy of VEREGEN® have not been established in immunosuppressed or pediatric patients, or pregnant women, or for the treatment of external genital and perianal warts beyond 16 weeks or for multiple treatment courses.
