How does the medication
work?
External genital and perianal
warts are cause by a virus called Human Papilloma
Virus. These wart-like growths are oftentimes
referred to as condyloma acuminata. While Aldara
itself has not been demonstrated to have any of
its own antiviral activity, Aldara cream is an
immune response modifier that stimulates the
body's own immune response system and helps the
body fight this virus. Aldara 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.
How quickly does the medication
work?
Aldara cream can effectively clear
genital warts as quickly as 4 weeks, although the
average time to healing with Aldara is 10 weeks and may
take as long as 16 weeks. Results with Aldara vary from
person to person.
How do I use the medication:
Wash hands and open a new packet of
the cream just before bedtime.
Apply a thin layer of the cream on
the wart(s).
Rub the the cream in until it
vanishes.
Discard the open packet of the cream and
wash hands.
Leave the cream on the wart(s)
for 6 to 10 hours.
After 6 to 10 hours, wash the
area where the cream was applied with mild soap and
water.
When should I use Aldara
cream?
Typically, dosing of
Aldara is once a day, 3 days a week
:
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday
Apply the cream at bedtime, after
bathing, so you do not wash off the cream. Treatment
with Aldara cream should continue until the warts are
completely gone, or up to 16 weeks.
Can I have sex while using aldara
cream?
Sexual contact should be avoided while
the Aldara cream is on the skin. If you decide to have
sexual relations, apply the cream after - not before
- sexual activity. If you have already applied the
Aldara 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 the
cream on the transmission of genital warts is
unknown.
Side effects:
Aldara cream doesn't destroy healthy
skin. Most people who use Aldara cream don't complain of
pain. One of the most common side effects is
redness. This may be a sign that your immune system is
working. Other common side effects of the cream are peeling
of the skin, itching, flaking, and swelling around the
warts.
Important
additional information:
Because Aldara cream doesn't cure Human
Papilloma Virus, the cause of genital and perianal
warts, new warts may form during treatment.
The cream may weaken condoms and
diaphragms, so sexual contact should be avoided while
the Aldara cream is on the skin.
How Aldara cream affects the spread of
genital warts to a partner is not known.
A woman who is or becomes pregnant
while using Aldara cream should notify her health care
provider immediately.
Do not use Aldara to treat internal
(inside the vagina or anus) warts.
Skin color changes to the application
site of Aldara have also been reported.
Do not cover warts with bandages or
other closed dressings.
Avoid using overly large amounts of
the cream.
A thin layer of the cream that completely
covers each wart is enough.
