Aldara

Does Aldara have any benefits?

The fact that Aldara is a cream means it is very easy to use, as you simply need to apply it to the affected area. The treatment allows you to do this in the privacy of your own home, without needing to visit a doctor for treatment, which can potentially be embarrassing. As the cream is administered externally, you do not need to be concerned about digestive side effects.

The most important benefit of the cream is that it can alleviate the uncomfortable symptoms associated with a genital warts outbreak and also reduce the length of an outbreak.

How does Aldara work?

The active ingredient in Aldara, imiquimod, works to stimulate your immune system so it is better able to fight off the virus that causes outbreaks of genital warts. The imiquimod fixes itself to the immune cells that are present in the area to which it has been applied and then stimulates their natural defences. This in turn causes the release of cytokines which directly target the HPV cells.

Can anyone use Aldara?

Most people will be able to use Aldara cream safely, as it is designed for use by otherwise healthy individuals who are over the age of 18. However, it is not considered suitable for those who have an auto-immune condition, an inflammatory skin condition or have recently undergone an organ transplant. It should also not be used by men who are experiencing warts under their foreskin. If you are allergic to the active ingredient, imiquimod, you should not use this medication.

How to use Aldara

This is a very simple cream to apply, and you only need to do so three times per week. The cream should be applied directly to external warts in a thin layer and then rubbed in until it is no longer visible. After six to ten hours you should rinse the area with a non-abrasive soap and water that is lukewarm. To fulfil this criterion, it is recommended that you apply the cream at night. If the skin is wounded or broken, you should not apply the cream.

Does Aldara cause side effects?

It is possible that you may notice some side effects while using Aldara cream, though any side effects that do arise will likely be very mild. Some reported effects include flu-like symptoms, sneezing, a sore throat, a stuffy nose, back ache, nausea, muscle pain, headaches and some skin irritation where the cream was applied. If you notice a more severe reaction or experience a side effect that concerns you, you should seek medical advice.
