Heart drugs take on warts: new injection shows promise
NCT ID NCT07307131
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two different injections for treating skin warts caused by HPV. One group received a mix of furosemide and digoxin (drugs usually used for heart conditions), while the other got polidocanol, a standard treatment. Researchers tracked how well each cleared the warts and checked for side effects and return of warts over 6 months. The trial involved 64 adults with single or multiple warts.
