What is Warticon?
Warticon is an antiviral medication used to treat genital warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). This topical cream is applied to the affected genital area and attacks the HPV causing the warts.

Warticon is a potent medication that does not fight the warts directly but ensures the virus cannot divide or spread. When the virus is subdued, the warts will die and eventually fall away.
