Wartek is intended for topical (on the skin) use only. Do not use Wartek to treat genital warts inside the rectum, vagina, or penis.

Apply the medication using the applicator provided or a cotton-tipped applicator. Apply the medication to affected skin only. A hand mirror may be helpful to identify lesions. Avoid contact with healthy surrounding skin. If the genital wart is in a skin fold, spread the skin apart so you can reach the wart. Allow the treated skin to dry before coming in contact with healthy skin. Throw away the applicator after one use. Do not reuse an applicator. Wash your hands after application of this medication.

Wartek - Wartec is usually applied twice a day, morning and evening for 3 days in a row followed by 4 days with no treatment. This is called a "treatment week". Do not wash the medication off of treated genital warts unless there is excessive pain or burning. If the medication comes into contact with healthy skin, wash the area with soap and water.
