Green Tea Helping Warts
A new product called Veregen (sinecatechins) 15% ointment is now available for the treatment of warts. Sinecatechins are an extract from Green Tea, that cleared almost 90% of anogenital warts in clinical studies.
The medication is only approved for treatment of external genital and perianal warts, and is not without side effects. One out of five patients experience erythema, pruritus, burning, pain/discomfort, erosion/ulceration, edema, induration or a vesicular rash. The medication is also going to be expensive, and likely not covered by many insurance plans.
