Important information about Condylox

It is not safe to use Condylox or any other medication that your Doctor has not prescribed. Also, using more Condylox than prescribed will not make it work better. This will only increase the risk of side effects. If this medication goes into your eyes, rinse it properly with water and call your doctor immediately. Do not use Condylox gel or solution in your vagina, urethra or rectum. If at all it gets into these areas, rinse it with warm water.

Always use protection while having sex. Condylox is not a cure for genital warts, neither does it protect you against sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Use proper contraception to prevent transmission of STDs. You can talk to your doctor about safe ways to prevent spread of STDs. Wash your hands with a good quality soap, before and after applying Condylox.
