Here's What Patients Want to Hear Directly From You About EGW

They're not dangerous

The strains of HPV that cause EGW are low-risk HPV strains that do not cause cancer.1,2

They can be asymptomatic

Although for some patients EGW can be very obvious, for others they can be asymptomatic, so patients may unknowingly transmit the viruses that cause EGW.1,3

They may take time to appear

EGW may appear weeks or months after acquiring an HPV infection. Or they may never appear, making it difficult to know exactly when or from whom a person contracted EGW.1,3

They are sexually transmitted

Using a condom during sex may help reduce the risk of getting HPV, but a condom does not always cover all the affected skin—so it may not completely protect your patient and his or her partner.1

They can be treated

Treatment may help alleviate the symptoms of EGW, although treatment does not cure the HPV infection itself, and recurrence is common.1

CDC Recommends Incorporating "The 5 'Ps' of Sexual Health" Into the Conversation4

Partners

Partners

Ask about number of partners and risk factors of those partners.4

Practices

Practices

Encourage patients to practice safe sex, such as abstinence, monogamy, and condom use.1,4

Protection from STDs

Protection from STDs

Identify risk factors for STDs and try to determine the patient's perception of his or her own risk as well as his or her partner's risk.4

Past history of STDs

Past history of STDs

Inquire about testing for STDs and assess history of STDs.4

Prevention of pregnancy

Prevention of pregnancy

Determine risk of becoming pregnant or fathering a child; counsel accordingly, including offering information on birth control or making a referral if appropriate.4

Additional information from your patients may be needed, but "The 5 Ps" may lay the foundation for an open and honest dialogue about sexual health.

VEREGEN® (sinecatechins) Can Help Clear EGW Infection

Low discontinuation rate

Only 2.3% of VEREGEN® patients discontinued treatment due to local adverse events.5

The majority of adverse events were mild or moderate local application site reactions.6 In the overall study population, the maximum mean severity of erythema, erosion, edema, and induration was observed by week 2 of treatment.7

Clearance rates of EGW*

Complete Clearance

(vs 35.3% for vehicle)7

Sustained Clearance

(vs 94.2% for vehicle) at 12 weeks post treatment7

*The effectiveness of VEREGEN® was assessed in two phase 3, randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled studies (United States and international) of immunocompetent male and female patients (N=604) aged 18 years and older who had EGW. VEREGEN® or vehicle was applied 3 times daily until complete clinical (visual) clearance of all EGW (baseline and new) or up to 16 weeks. Those patients who experienced complete clearance of all warts were followed for a 12-week, treatment-free period to assess sustained clearance.6,7
