Aldara Cream works from within by activating the body's own immune system. When Aldara Cream is applied to the skin, immune cells are activated and travel to the area. For example, in the case of genital warts, the activated immune cells work to eliminate cells that have been infected with the human papillomavirus (HPV) that causes the warts.
Aldara has no direct antiviral activity and is not chemodestructive or cytotoxic. The clinical relevance of these findings and the mechanism of action of Aldara cream in treating actinic keratosis and superficial basal cell carcinoma are unknown.

Directions:
Aldara Cream should be applied just before your bedtime. Wash the area to be treated with mild soap and water. Allow the area to dry. Uncircumcised males treating warts under their penis foreskin must pull their foreskin back and clean before treatment, and clean daily during the weeks of treatment. Open a new packet of Aldara Cream and apply a thin layer of Aldara Cream only to the affected area or areas to be treated. Do not use more Aldara Cream than is needed to cover the treatment area. Do not get Aldara Cream in your eyes. Do not get Aldara Cream in the anus when applying to perianal warts. Female patients treating genital warts must be careful when applying Aldara Cream around the vaginal opening. Female patients should take special care if applying the cream at the opening of the vagina because local skin reactions on the delicate moist surfaces can cause pain or swelling and may cause problems passing urine. Do not put Aldara Cream in your vagina or on the skin around the genital warts. Safely throw away the open packet of Aldara Cream so that children and pets cannot get it. The open packet should be thrown away even if all the Aldara Cream was not completely used. After applying Aldara Cream, wash your hands well. Leave the cream on the affected area for about 8 hours, then wash off. If you get Aldara Cream in your mouth or in your eyes, rinse well with water right away.

Warnings:
When using Aldara Cream, the most common side effects involve skin reactions in the application area. These include redness, swelling, a sore, blisters, or ulcers, skin that becomes hard or thickened, skin peeling, scabbing and crusting, itching, burning, and changes in skin color that do not always go away.
When using Aldara Cream for actinic keratosis and superficial basal cell carcinoma, exposure to sunlight (including sunlamps) should be avoided or minimized during use of Aldara Cream because of concern of heightened sunburn susceptibility. Patients should be warned to use protective clothing (hat) when using Aldara Cream.
The effect of Aldara Cream on the transmission of external genital warts is unknown. Aldara Cream may weaken condoms and diaphragms. Sexual contact should be avoided while the cream is on the skin. New external genital warts may develop during treatment. |
