ALDARA CREAM INFORMATION

About Aldara Cream

Aldara cream is an immune response modifier that stimulates the body's own immune response system and helps the body fight this Human Papilloma Virus that causes external genital and perianal warts. It may do this via the induction of cytokines like alpha-interferon. Alpha-interferon is a complex compound normally produced by the human body that does have potent antiviral activity.

In a large clinical trial, 50% of patients had complete clearing of their warts, the mean time for the warts to clear was 10 weeks.

How to use Aldara Cream

It is best to apply aldara cream just before bedtime. Aldara cream is usually applied once a day on alternate days 3 times a week.

First wash your hands and open a new sachet of aldara cream. Apply a thin layer of aldara cream on the wart(s). Rub the cream in until it vanishes.

Discard the used sachet and wash hands.

Leave the aldara cream on the wart(s) for 6 to 10 hours. After 6 to 10 hours, wash the area where the aldara cream was applied with mild soap and water.

Side effects

One of the most common side effects of aldara cream is redness. This may be a sign that your immune system is working. Other common side effects are peeling of the skin, itching, flaking, and swelling around the warts. Skin color changes to the area that aldara cream is applied have also been reported.
