What medication is used to treat genital warts to prevent outbreaks?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No medication: Unfortunately, there has been no approved medication to use in people infected with hpv to prevent outbreaks. So far, only actual lesions can be treated. There is hpv vaccination available, though, which is most useful in those who are not infected, however, it can be used in those who are infected, although, it doesn't guarantee 100% efficacy in either group.

No prevention: Unfortunately, there's no such medication. Just treatment of warts when they occur.
