Before Using Condilox
In deciding to use a
medicine, the risks of using the medicine must be
weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision
you and your doctor will make. For Condilox, the
following should be considered:
Allergies - Tell your doctor if you have ever had any
unusual or allergic reaction to Condilox. Also tell your
health care professional if you are allergic to any
other substances, such as foods, preservatives, or dyes.
Pregnancy - Condilox has not been studied in pregnant
women. However, studies in rats have shown that Condilox
causes problems during pregnancy when injected at high
doses. Topical Condilox may be absorbed into the skin at
certain doses. Before using Condilox, make sure your
doctor knows if you are pregnant or if you may become
pregnant.
Breast-feeding - It is not known whether topical
Condilox passes into breast milk. Although most
medicines pass into breast milk in small amounts, many
of them may be used safely while breast-feeding. Mothers
who are using Condilox and who wish to breast-feed
should discuss this with their doctor.
Children-Studies of Condilox have been done only in
adult patients, and there is no specific information
comparing use of Condilox in children with use in other
age groups.
Older adults - Many medicines have not been studied
specifically in older people. Therefore, it may not be
known whether they work exactly the same way they do in
younger adults or if they cause different side effects
or problems in older people. There is no specific
information comparing use of Condilox in the elderly
with use in other age groups.
Other medicines - Although certain medicines should
not be used together at all, in other cases two
different medicines may be used together even if an
interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may
want to change the dose, or other precautions may be
necessary. Tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are
using any other prescription or nonprescription
medicine.
Proper Use of Condilox
A paper with information
for the patient will be given to you with your filled
prescription and will provide many details concerning
the use of Condilox. Read this paper carefully and ask
your health care professional if you need additional
information.
Also, keep Condilox away from the eyes and mucous
membranes, such as the inside of the penis, rectum, or
vagina. Condilox may cause severe irritation. If you get
Condilox in your eyes or on one of these areas,
immediately flush the area with water for 15 minutes.
Use Condilox only as directed, no more than 3 days a
week and no more than 4 treatment cycles. Do not use
more of it, do not use it more often, and do not use it
for a longer time than your doctor ordered. To do so may
increase the chances that Condilox is absorbed into the
body and that side effects could occur.
Do not apply the medicine to any other wart until you
discuss it with your doctor. The total dose of Condilox
used on all warts should not exceed that which would
cover an area measuring 1.6 square inches (10 square
centimeters), about the size of a dollar coin.
To use:
To apply the solution, use the
applicators that come with the solution or a
cotton-tipped applicator. To apply the gel, use a
cotton-tipped applicator or your finger. Never reuse an
applicator or dip a used applicator into the bottle.
Apply Condilox only to the wart(s) discussed with
your doctor.
Condilox can cause severe irritation of normal skin.
If you get medicine on normal skin, wash it off
immediately.
Make sure the treated area is dry before allowing the
treated skin to come in contact with normal, untreated
skin.
Immediately after applying Condilox, wash your hands
to remove any medicine. Properly discard used
applicator(s).
Dosing
The dose of Condilox will be different
for different patients. Follow your doctor's orders or
the directions on the label. The following information
includes only the average doses of Condilox. If your
dose is different, do not change it unless your doctor
tells you to do so.
