CONDYLOX USES

HOW TO USE CONDYLOX
This medication is for topical use only. It is usually applied once
in the morning and again in the evening for three days followed
by a four days rest period. This cycle is repeated for up to four
times. To apply, use a new applicator provided. Moisten the applicator
tip with the solution and touch the wart to cover it. Allow the
solution to dry. Properly dispose of the applicator and wash hands
thoroughly. Be careful when applying this medication as it can irritate
normal skin around the application site. Do not use large amounts,
apply more often or use for a longer period than directed. Your

If contact occurs, immediately wash with plenty of water and contact
your doctor.
