VERY VERY GOOD NEWS.
Thanks, I am not making an advertisement here, but just for brothers still having recurrence over a long period, looking for new way to fight HPV. We should collect more news and comments about"Veregen" from US.
Although it is a new drug, it doesn't mean there is a new way to KILL the HPV virus completely or cure gential warts. It works as similar as like Aldara, mixing the natural green tea compound to enhancing immune system function.
Clinical Result
FDA approval of Veregen was based on the pooled results of two randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled phase III clinical trials. These trials enrolled a combined 1,000 immunocompetent subjects who received the ointment three times daily for up to 16 weeks or until complete clearance of all warts. The primary endpoint was the response rate defined as the proportion of patients with complete clinical (visual) clearance of all external genital and perianal warts (baseline and new) by week 16. Of the subjects treated with Veregen, 53.6% reached complete clearance versus 35.3% on placebo. The median time to complete wart clearance was 16 weeks and 10 weeks, respectively, in the two trials.

Side Effects so far
- severe redness, burning, or itching of treated skin;
- swelling, blisters, sores, or skin changes where the medicine was applied;
- hardening of the treated skin areas; or
- bleeding of treated skin.
Vaccine Like Gardasil, the company still have questions for the new product; such as i. the efficacy of the product, ii. do they need a booster after 6 years. iii. is it okay for boys, .... So I will work harder to study foreign websites and report here at Xocat. Once it comes to Hong Kong, we then have enough knowledge to ask Doctors about the "pos" and "cos" of the drug.
My Opinion, don't ask doctor yet, it is too new for them. (only launched in US last month). And don't try it even you have friends in America. Any medications SHOULD applied based on doctor's recommendations. It will launch soon (originated from China)
My warts situation is not that bad, never come back as far (think I don't have to try this), I post it here just want brothers know the latest drugs development and wish we can recover as soon as possible. Be positive, 53.6% complete clearance in 4 months is quite encouraging. (Although 3M says similar figures, it doesn't work well for everyone)
Let's wait and see
