Podofilox Top Side Effects
Redness, swelling, itching, burning, pain/tenderness, mild bleeding, or stinging may occur in the treated areas. Less common side effects may include peeling/flaking/scabbing/crusting, dryness, tingling, stinging, skin color change, or headache. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
If the skin reaction is severe (formation of sores/ulcers, severe bleeding), tell your doctor immediately. Podofilox treatment may need to be temporarily stopped so that the skin can heal.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur:
- signs of infection at the site of treatment (e.g., spreading area of skin redness, milky discharge)
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is unlikely, but seek immediate medical attention if it occurs. Symptoms of a serious allergic reaction may include:
