  • Title: Podophyllin office therapy against condyloma should be abandoned.
    Author: von Krogh G, Longstaff E.
    Journal: Sex Transm Infect; 2001 Dec; 77(6):409-12. PubMed ID: 11714936.
    Abstract:
    Podophyllin, a crude plant extract with low efficacy, high toxicity, and a serious mutagenicity profile does not comply with the WHO guidelines for plant derived treatments and should be removed from clinical treatment protocols. Home treatment with pharmaceutical products based on podophyllotoxin-the purified, standardised active antiwart ingredient of podophyllin-represents safe and effective first line therapy for patients with anogenital warts.
