Benefits of funds
The advantages of using antiviral drugs to get rid of warts are:
- suppression of the virus that provokes the appearance of growths;
- application safety;
- no pain, unlike surgery;
- increased immunity, which will help reduce the number of relapses of the virus and the appearance of warts;
- the ability to purchase them at almost any pharmacy;
- these drugs can be combined and used as a tablet inside, and additionally an ointment outside.
The mechanism of action on growths
Warts are the consequences of a decrease in immunity due to primary infection with a virus or the “awakening” of latent infections. This means that by suppressing the virus, you can get rid of existing growths and greatly reduce the risk of relapse.
Viruses, capturing a healthy cell, infect it, replacing normal elements with viral particles. As soon as their maximum concentration is reached in the cell, they leave and penetrate into another healthy cell and the cycle repeats.
Antivirals can affect the life cycles of the virus, but in different ways:
- prevent the virus from entering healthy cells;
- destroy viral elements, block their exit from infected cells;
- to stimulate the accelerated production of interferon by the own cells of the human body, with the help of which the virus
- will die faster.
It depends on the type of drug, its specific action.
Antiviral agents for oral administration act on the entire body, increasing overall defenses and inhibiting infection.
Creams, sprays and ointments affect the wart itself, damaging the virus particles inside it. Some stop the reproduction of the virus, others destroy keratin in tissues, and others increase immunity locally in the growth.
Treatment effectiveness
The effect of antiviral drugs depends on a person’s skin, metabolism and the work of his hormonal system. Fresh and small-sized growths disappear after taking the antiviral drug. Large warts are best removed with a laser and at the same time drink an antiviral drug.
Keratolytic drugs work well on small growths. They soften skin cells, destroy keratin, which leads to the death and exfoliation of the wart.
For example, tests of Isoprinosine on women have proven the high effectiveness of the antiviral effect on growths. In the fight against warts on the genitals, it was 90%. In more detail about how papillomavirus infection is treated in women, drugs that really help.

Patient feedback on treatment
Maria: [/ su_label] I didn’t manage to get rid of warts with folk remedies, although I tried different remedies for several years in a row. I decided to go to the doctor for advice, and he prescribed Isoprinosin for me.
I was skeptical about this, but still drank the course. And about a miracle! 1.5 years no new rashes appear, and more than half of the old ones have disappeared. I advise everyone to be treated by him, because it is so important for us women to be beautiful.
Sergey: Suddenly, papillomas began to appear in my groin . I was embarrassed to go to the doctor with this question, so I decided to look for information on the Internet and try something from ointments. PAPILLOCK Plus topical balm caught my eye.
Prior to that, he took decoctions from berries and herbs, which supposedly have an antiviral effect, and for all the time at least 1 wart disappeared . No, there are a few more. And Papillok in just 2.5 weeks saved me from all the growths that he lubricated with them. I liked it very much, I will use it again.
Lenochka:Somehow an ugly wart appeared on my neck, closer to my face. I was very shy of her, did not know what to do. I wanted to go to the doctor to remove it , but an accident stopped me. It was just flu season, and I, as always, smeared my nose with oxolin ointment.
And then the thought came to me that since oxolin is antiviral, it means that it should help with growths. After 3 months of regular lubrication, this wart finally fell off. By the way, you need to take 3% oxolin, and not the one needed to lubricate the nose.
