After 72 hours, the wart begins to come off and gradually disappears.

Are there any Precautions and Drug interactions for Podofilm?
Podofilm is extremely potent and is to be applied only by the doctor. Care must be used in the selection of the patients to be treated with Podofilm and the method to be used. In order to avoid toxicity, it is recommended to apply the preparation to small areas of skin. Do not use on tongue, eyes and other mucus membranes such as inside of the nose, mouth, cervix, vagina or anal canal. Do not use Podofilm if the area surrounding the growth is irritated, infected or reddened. Do not use on diabetic patients or patients with poor blood circulation, nor on moles, birthmarks, or unusual warts with hair growing from them. Podofilm should not be used in conditions where the genital warts are either florid with a large surface area or very hemorrhagic that absorption of toxin into the body is possible. Do not treat large areas at one time since discomfort may be excessive and can result in absorption into the body. Do not use the product near heat, open flame, or while smoking.
The use of Podofilm during pregnancy or by nursing mothers is not recommended since there have been no studies conducted with the use of Podofilm in pregnant or nursing women. It is recommended to advise the patients about the effects and possible results of the treatment. Care must be exercised when applying the drug so that the adjacent area is not affected. Normal skin adjacent to the lesion should be protected with petrolatum.
Podofilm is a strong vesicant and may produce blisters if it comes in contact with normal skin or mucus membrane. If it gets spilled on skin, wipe off at once, with acetone, alcohol or tape remover. Then wash thoroughly with warm soapy water and rinse well.
