How to Use VEREGEN®
Use VEREGEN® as prescribed by your doctor and for the full amount of time he or she tells you to, however, no longer than 16 weeks.
How to apply:
- Wash your hands before and after using VEREGEN®.
- Put VEREGEN® on each wart, using your finger(s). Dab it on to make sure all of the warts are covered, and leave a thin layer of VEREGEN® on the warts.
- Apply VEREGEN® three times a day—for example, in the morning, after dinner and before bedtime.
- Do not wash off the ointment from the treated area before the next application. When you wash the treatment area or bathe, reapply VEREGEN® afterward.
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.
The most common adverse reactions that occurred in more than 20% of patients in studies with VEREGEN® were reactions of the skin and application site. These included reddening of the skin, itching, burning, pain or discomfort, skin ulcers, wearing down of the skin, swelling, hard spots, and rash with blisters.
