What is Veregen?

Veregen is a herbal product made from green tea leaves.

Veregen ointment is used to treat genital and anal warts in adults. This medicine is for use only on warts outside the genitals and around the outside of the anus. It is not for use inside the vagina, cervix, rectum, or urethra (the tube for passing urine out of your bladder).

Veregen ointment will not cure genital or anal warts and you may develop new warts during or after treatment. Veregen will not keep you from spreading genital or anal warts to other people through sexual intercourse or skin-to-skin contact.

Warnings

Before using Veregen ointment, tell your doctor if you have human papilloma virus (HPV),HIV or AIDS, or a weak immune system (from disease or medications such as steroids, chemotherapy, or radiation treatments).

Veregen will not cure genital or anal warts, and will not keep you from spreading the warts to other people through sexual intercourse or skin-to-skin contact. Veregen will not treat genital warts that are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV).

Keep using the ointment until your warts have completely cleared. Do not use this medication for longer than 16 weeks without your doctors advice.

Follow all directions on your medicine label and package. Tell each of your healthcare providers about all your medical conditions, allergies, and all medicines you use.

How should I take Veregen
