A small amount of Veregen (Sinecatechins) ointment should be applied to each wart three times daily. No more than a 0.5 cm strand of ointment should be applied at any one time. You do not need to wash off ointment from the previous application before applying a new dose.
Wash your hands before applying the ointment. It should be dabbed on with a clean finger, leaving a thin layer of ointment covering the wart. Wash your hands immediately after applying the ointment to avoid contact with your eyes, nostrils, and mouth. Do not cover the treated area with dressings or a bandage.
New warts may develop during treatment with Veregen (Sinecatechins) and these should also be treated as well. It is important to continue using Veregen (Sinecatechins) until complete clearance of all the warts, up to a maximum of 16 weeks. Contact your doctor if your warts do not go away or if they come back after treatment.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to use Veregen (Sinecatechins) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Veregen (Sinecatechins) is not to be applied to the vagina, cervix, or inside the anus as severe skin reactions, such as ulcers, may occur. If you happen to get this ointment in your eyes or other sensitive areas, wipe the ointment off and rinse your eyes with water and other areas with soap and water.
If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store Veregen (Sinecatechins) at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children. The medication should be used within 6 weeks of first opening the tube.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
