4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINSTRATION
The following doses and schedules are applicable to adults and
the elderly.
The affected area should be thoroughly washed with soap and
water and dried prior to application.
Using the applicator provided, the warts should be painted
twice daily for three days.
The treated area should be allowed to dry.
Residual warts should be treated with
further courses of twice daily applications for 3
days after a 4 day treatment-free 
period. Normally 3 - 4 treatment courses are sufficient.
The majority of patients will not require in excess of 30
loops for each application, however, a maximum of 50 loops 
per application (equivalent to 250µl of Warticon solution) may
be applied. Where lesions are greater in area than 4cm
2
, 
it is recommended
that treatment takes place under the direct supervision
of medical staff.
4.3 CONTRAINDICATIONS
Open wounds following surgical procedures should not be treated
with podophyllotoxin. Hypersensitivity to 
podophyllotoxin is a contraindication.
4.4 SPECIAL WARNINGS AND SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Be careful to apply Warticon solution to the warts only; if any
spreads onto healthy skin it should be washed off with 
soap and water.
Avoid contact with the eyes. Following
accidental spillage the skin should be washed well with soap and
water. In the
