Aldara Medical Information
Aldara is a skin cream containing the chemical imiquimod 5%.
Aldara is effective against warts (condylomata acuminata) on the surface of the genitals (sexual organs) and around the anus (back passage).
Aldara cream helps your body´s own immune system to produce natural substances which help fight the virus that has caused your warts.
Wash hands carefully before and after applying the cream.
Do not cover the treated area with bandages or other dressings after you have applied Aldara cream.
Open a new sachet each time you use the cream.
Dispose of any cream left in the sachet after use. Do not save the opened sachet for use at a later date.
Application Instructions – (Mon, Wed and Fri) 1
. Before going to bed, wash your hands and the treatment area with mild soap and water. Dry thoroughly.
2. Open a new sachet and squeeze some cream onto your fingertip.
3. Apply a thin layer of Aldara cream onto clean, dry wart area and rub gently into the skin until cream vanishes.
4. After application of the cream, throw away the opened sachet and wash hands with soap and water.
5. Leave Aldara cream on the warts for 6 to 10 hours. Do not shower or bathe during this time.
6. After 6 to 10 hours wash the area where Aldara cream was applied with mild soap and water. Apply Aldara cream 3 times per week. For example, apply the cream on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. One sachet contains enough cream to cover a wart area of 20 cm2 (approx. 3 square inches).
Continue to use Aldara cream as instructed until your warts have completely gone (half the females who clear will do so in 8 weeks, half the males who clear will do so in 12 weeks but in some patients warts may clear as early as 4 weeks).
Do not use Aldara cream for more than 16 weeks in the treatment of each episode of warts.
