New genital wart ointment

Genital warts are cauliflower like growth seen near the genital area of both males and females. Though this condition is harmless in general, the people hate to have this. There is several treatment approaches.

Each treatment approach differs in it s effectiveness from person to person. Some treatment approach may be highly effective for one person; the same treatment may not be effective for the other person. As the result the doctors will decide about the treatment approach based on their experience and the condition of the person. Let us discuss about the new treatment approaches for genital wart in this article.

A company called medigene AG is manufacturing a new type of medicine that brings about miraculous results as far as genital wart problem is concerned. Here in the name of the company AG means two countries which are involved in the research of the product i.e. America and Germany. The name of the product is polyphenon E. This product is an ointment. This Company is located in Frankfurt.

This company conducted trials on 500 people who had genital warts. All those patients were placed in 48 different hospitals that were located in seven different countries. The method adopted in the research is double blind. This means that both the doctors as well as the patients were not aware of the medicine given [whether it is placebo or real polyphenon E].

In this kind of study the effect of the placebo was also studied. In fact the placebo won t be giving any beneficial effects, but the patient will believe that he is receiving the polyphenon E. The effect of the psychological well being can also be studied here.

The polyphenon E ointment is applied two times a day for a period of sixteen weeks. The base of the ointment is the extract of the leaves that are used in making green tea. Of all the people who are subjected to the test nearly 53 percent of the people had complete recovery, meaning total removal of genital warts. Almost 78 percent of the people nearly got relieved of the wart problem. Only five percent of the people had recurrence of genital warts.

As the result of the test was really encouraging, the company is now planning to conduct one more trial in United States of America in order to get approval for marketing the drug. This company is also of the opinion that the polyphenon E can be used to treat so many other skin ailments.

Here the important point that needs to be remembered is that the drugs are yet to be approved by the FDA of United States of America. Once that happens, then one can be very sure that this drug is free from any harmful effects and can be used without any fear for the treatment of genital warts.

This genital wart may be harmless as in the case of males. But in case of females these genital warts has the potential to become cervical cancer in due course. Hence treating the genital wart early and preventing it by indulging in protected sex is the best option.

Value Determines Need For Extended Warranty On Home Appliance

There are many people who believe that an extended warranty on home appliance sales is simply a means for a retailer to add money to the bottom lines sales. Their theory is that if the warranty is not used during its warranty period, then it is pure profit for the retailer. The extended warranty on home appliance items are like an insurance policy with you betting the appliance will fail once it passes its original warranty period.

Many question the advisability of adding to the price of an item as added protection of it breaking once the original warranty expires, and other say the extra money is well worth it. On low-priced items, under $100 for instance, with a factory warranty of 90 days, a warranty to last for an additional year, takes the warranty to 15 months. The extended warranty on home appliance items in this price range is typically around $20.

Consider many buyers will voluntarily replace an item within a year with a newer model that is a wasted $20 investment. If, however, you are the type to keep your appliances until they die, then it can be worthwhile when the item passes away in the first year. The extended warranty on home appliance sales can help if you have early troubles.

Read Fine Print Accompanying Warranty

Be sure to read the rules to qualify for warranty work when you purchase an extended warranty on home appliance purchases as some may place restrictions on the type of service they cover as well as who, where and how the appliance repairs will be conducted. Most will require you to ship the product, often in its original packaging, to a repair center. At their discretion, the item will be repaired or replaced, often with a refurbished one, and you are going to pay the shipping charges, both ways.

On more expensive items, such as computers or high-ticket printers, an extended warranty can cost up to $100 or more. It is not so much the price, but the length of time you plan to have this item before replacing it with the newest model. The extended warranty on home appliance sales for some purchases can be extremely useful, but only if you believe the costs of replacement will be higher than what you are being asked to pay for the extended warranty along with any shipping charges you will have to pay.
