[Experiences with podophyllotoxin in the treatment of condylomata acuminata]

We treated 26 patients with condylomata acuminata with a 0.5% solution of podophyllotoxin (Condyline). Twelve of these patients were unsuccessfully pretreated with a common podophyllin 20% solution - some of them up to three months. In 22 patients (84.5%) we observed complete healing of lesions within 30 (6 bis 175) days with podophyllotoxin. Prompt response, minor side-effects, and the possibility for the patients to carry out the treatment themselves are the advantages of this podophyllotoxin preparation.
