Podofilm is for the removal of benign epithelial growths such as venereal warts (condylomata acuminata), com- 
mon warts (verruca vulgaris), and benign papillomas such as granuloma inguinale and plantar warts.(Common Wart treatment) Podofilm is manufactured by PharmaScience www.pharmascience.com for health professionals 

  

*Podophyllin is a cytotoxic agent. Its most profound effect is interference with mitosis in the cells of the basal 
layer of the epidermis.


Contra-Indications:  Hypersensitivity to Podophyllin. The consumption of alcoholic beverages for several hours after 
treatment, is to be avoided. 


Information/Storage: 25 mL bottle. Keep away from heat, fire and flame. Close tightly immediately after use. Store at room 
temperature. 


Adverse Reactions: Systemic effects from the topical use of podophyllum resin includes urticaria, transient fever, 
paresthesia, polyneuritis, paralytic ileus, pyrexia leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, coma, and death. Local effects include 
severe necrosis and scarring of the anogenital area, paraphimosis requiring circumcision and pseudoephitheliomatous 
hyperplasia.


Dosage And Administration: Care must be exercised when applying the drug so that the adjacent area is not 
affected. Normal skin adjacent to the lesion should be protected with petrolatum. Apply no more than 1-2 mL of 
podophyllin during one treatment.


Plantar Warts:  Pare away keratin covering the wart, avoid bleeding, avoid cutting viable tissue. Using a Q-Tip or 
applicator stick, apply PODOFILM to both the wart and a 1-3mm margin around the wart. Allow a few minutes to dry. 
Secure with non-porous plastic adhesive tape. Leave in place for 48 hours, then debride. If any viable wart tissue 
remains after debridement, re-apply a small amount of PODOFILM and bandage as above. Repeat treatment over sev- 
eral weeks are often necessary. When destruction of wart is complete, the healed site will appear smooth, with normal skin lines. 





Cautions due to pregnancy: The use of PODOFILM during pregnancy and or in nursing mothers is not recommended since there have been no adequate and well controlled studies in the use of Podophyllin in pregnant women or nursing mothers. It is recommended that patient be advised of the effect and the possible results of treatment.


 Warn the patient that the blister may be painful. Prescribe a mild analgesic, e.g. aspirin with 
codeine, or acetaminophen with codeine. The tape may be removed and the area soaked in cool water for 10-15 minute periods, as needed, provided sufficient time has been allowed for the medication to penetrate. Local anesthesia may be needed during curettage
