Cimetidine therapy for plantar warts

T Ronna, M Lebwohl

    Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association
    |November 1, 1995
    PubMed
    Summary

    While many warts resolve spontaneously, some spread and cause discomfort. Cimetidine shows potential for treating warts without side effects, but further research is needed to confirm its efficacy.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Warts are common skin infections caused by human papillomaviruses (HPVs).
    • Current treatments often involve tissue damage, and spontaneous resolution occurs in over 50% of cases within two years.
    • The efficacy of pharmacologic interventions for warts remains an area of active investigation.

    Observation:

    • Anecdotal evidence suggests cimetidine may be effective in treating plantar warts.
    • This proposed treatment has reportedly caused no side effects or tissue damage.

    Findings:

    • The role of cimetidine in treating viral warts is currently controversial due to the possibility of spontaneous resolution.
    • Existing data is primarily anecdotal, lacking robust clinical trial evidence.

    Implications:

    • Further investigation via a large, double-blind trial is warranted to definitively assess cimetidine's effectiveness and safety for viral warts.
    • If proven effective, cimetidine could offer a non-destructive treatment option for warts.
