Cimetidine has been shown to be useful in the treatment of condylomata acuminata and papillomatosis. Four children treated with extensive condylomata acuminata of the genital and perigenital areas were treated with cimetidine 30–40 mg/kg; clearing of their condylomata was noted at 24 months following treatment.[28] Cimetidine was effective in the treatment of recurrent respiratory papillomatosis[29] and recalcitrant, diffuse conjunctival papillomatosis.[30]
There have been two studies relating to the use of Cimetidine for treatment of warts in children. According to the studies, a daily dosage of 400mg of Cimetidine can remove over 200 warts from a 15 year old child.[1]
