It works by aiding the immune system to help protect the body from viruses that cause warts. The medicine does not fight the viruses that cause warts directly. It does help to relieve and control wart production.
side effects....
blisters on skin; itching in genital or other skin areas; open sores or scabs on skin; redness of skin (severe); scaling

It also is very toxic and is not the preffered method of treating Genital Warts cause it can get absorbed after topical administration.
