Aldara Cream: Some Important Fact

What is Aldara Cream?

Aldara is an off-white and almost odorless cream, which is commonly used to treat genital warts that appear on the outside of the body. This cream is also used for solar keratoses and skin cancer treatment. Each gram of Aldara cream contains 50 mg of Imiquimod (immune response modifier). Imiquimod is an active ingredient in the cream and provides relief from genital warts. Aldara works by strengthening the body's immune system to fight against viral infections. This medicine is not a cure for genital warts and new warts can appear during the treatment. How to Apply Aldara:

This cream should be applied just before bedtime.

Wash your hands before applying this cream.

Apply a thin layer of the cream on your skin and rub it gently until no more cream is visible.

Leave the area open; do not cover it with bandage or dressing.

After applying the cream again, wash your hands properly.

Wait for 6 to 10 hours and then wash it off with mild soap and water.

The recommended application is 3 times a week.
