Aldara Cream (genital warts)
Aldara cream helps treat
external genital warts. Aldara not only gets rid of the warts but
also helps the body fight the virus that causes warts. Aldara is
a convenient, patient applied treatment for home use.
Aldara – (IMIQUIMOD)
What is Aldara?
Aldara Cream is used to treat external genital and perianal warts
and is different from most other treatments. It is a patient-applied
cream that helps the body fight the virus instead of just getting
rid of the warts.
What are the side effects of Aldara?
The most common side effects include inflammation, swelling, burning,
pain, itching or scabbing. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist if
any of these occur and become uncomfortable or intolerable.
How do I take Aldara?
Use it exactly as the doctor prescribed it. Aldara is to be applied
at bedtime for 3 days each week. It should be left on for 6-10 hours
then washed off with mild soap and water. This treatment is repeated
at weekly intervals for a maximum of 4 weeks.
What if I miss a dose?
Apply the missed dose of cream as soon as you remember and then
continue on the regular schedule.
Are there any drug interactions with Aldara?
Tell your doctor of all nonprescription and prescription medication
you use. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist
approval.
Is there any additional information about Aldara
that I should know?
Sexual contact should be avoided while the cream is on the skin.
If you decide to have sexual relations, apply Aldara cream after
- not before - sexual activity. If you have already applied the
cream, it should be washed off before sexual activity. In addition,
Aldara cream may weaken condoms and diaphragms; therefore the cream
should not be left on during sexual activity. The effect of Aldara
cream on the transmission of genital warts is unknown.
How do I store Aldara?
Store Aldara at room temperature away from moisture and heat. Always
keep all prescription medications out of the reach of children.
