Study summary

Identify the effects of combined intralesional furosemide 20mg/2ml and digoxin 0.5mg/2ml in cutaneous warts given weekly are rather safe and effective treatment for cutaneous warts, focusing on their effectiveness and safety, at a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan.

Read the detailed description

Cutaneous warts are benign growth caused by human papilloma virus. Virus have more than 100 types of which few are responsible for cutaneous disease. Both injection furosemide and digoxin cause decrease intracellular potassium levels by interacting with cell membrane ion co-transporters (Na+/K+-ATPase and Na+-K+-2Cl-co-transporter-1) thereby causing delay in viral replication. The purpose of study is to evaluate the effects of both furosemide and digoxin given 0.2 ml once weekly for five weeks on viral warts.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
