Catephen 10% Ointment
Genital Warts Treatment

Catephen 10% Ointment is a prescription treatment for external genital and anal warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is suitable for both men and women and works to reduce and clear warts effectively.

The active ingredient in Catephen is green tea leaf extract, which helps to combat warts by targeting the affected area and promoting their regression. It’s a safe and effective solution for managing the visible symptoms of HPV.

Apply Catephen three times a day—morning, afternoon, and evening.

• Wash your hands and the affected area thoroughly before application.

• Use a small amount of ointment on your fingertip and gently dab each wart, ensuring a thin layer covers the affected area.

• Avoid covering the treated area with bandages, and do not apply the ointment internally.

If new warts develop during treatment, apply the ointment to them in the same manner.

No, Catephen is strictly for external use. Do not apply it internally to areas such as the anus, vagina, or urethra.

While results may vary, noticeable improvement is often seen within a few days of consistent use. Treatment can continue for up to 16 weeks if necessary, depending on the severity of the condition and your GP’s advice.

Common side effects include:

• Redness, itching, irritation, or swelling at the application site.

• Less commonly, blistering, skin flakiness, or open sores may occur.

• Rare side effects include scarring, changes in skin colour, or inflammation of nearby areas such as the foreskin or vulva.

If you experience persistent or severe side effects, discontinue use and consult your GP or pharmacist.

Catephen is not suitable for:

• Individuals under 18 years old.

• Those taking high doses of green tea supplements.

• People with underlying liver issues.
  Consult your GP to determine if Catephen is appropriate for you.

If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to conceive, consult your GP before using Catephen. While the risks are thought to be low, limited research is available, and alternative treatments may be safer during pregnancy.

Store Catephen at room temperature, between 2° and 25°C. It does not require refrigeration. Ensure the tube is tightly closed and kept out of reach of children.

Catephen is generally safe to use alongside most medications. However, always inform your GP about any treatments or supplements you’re currently using to avoid potential interactions.

Yes, but uncircumcised men should retract the foreskin and clean the area daily during treatment to prevent phimosis (tightening of the foreskin), which could lead to complications like open sores or hardened skin.

If you miss a dose, simply apply the ointment at the next scheduled time. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed application.

While Catephen effectively treats the visible symptoms of HPV (genital and anal warts), it does not cure the underlying virus. HPV may remain in the body even after the warts are cleared.
