Role of Intralesional Combined Injection of Furosemide and Digoxin in Cutaneous Warts at Tertiary Care Hospital in Karachi.

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.
