Genital warts are one of the most commonly experienced sexually transmitted viral infections, and is a highly contagious infection. It is caused by the strains of the human papilloma virus. Viral infections are highly infectious and it’s not possible to completely cure this type of infection, although it is possible to treat and manage the symptoms with the help of antiviral medications. The three most popular prescription medications that are available for treating genital warts are Aldara, Warticon and Condyline. Aldara is an effective antiviral for treating genital warts, which is available in a cream form.
It is used for treating skin conditions such as genital warts, and has been proven to be very effective in doing so. Condyline is another antiviral treatment, which is a podophyllotoxin solution that can be used for treating genital warts.

This solution can be used safely by adults as well as older people, but women who are pregnant or breastfeeding need to avoid using this medication.
