Combination Therapy
Combination therapy has demonstrated promising results for most patients. The therapy combines the use of the powerful antiviral drug Interferon with wart removal techniques, like lasers to vaporize the wart. The interferon helps the body fight and suppress the virus while a medical laser vaporizes the warts.
The FDA approved combination therapy decreases the chances of reoccurrence significantly. However, the success of the therapy depends on the severity, extent and size of the venereal warts and the health of the patient’s immune system.
Our center was an early combined therapy adopter.
