|  HOW
DOES ALDARA WORK?
Drugs 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. It 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
EFFECTIVE IS ALDARA?
In a large clinical trial 50% of patients had complete
clearing of their warts. The mean time to complete wart
clearing was 10 weeks.
HOW
QUICKLY DOES ALDARA WORK?
Aldara cream can effectively clear genital warts as
quickly as 4 weeks, although the average time to healing
is 10 weeks and may take as long as 16 weeks. Results
vary from person to person.
HOW
DO I USE ALDARA CREAM:
Wash hands and open a new packet of Aldara cream just
before bedtime.
Apply a thin layer of cream on the wart(s).
Rub the cream in until it vanishes.
Discard the open packet and wash hands.
Leave the cream on the wart(s) for 6 to 10 hours.
After 6 to 10 hours, wash the area where Aldara cream
was applied with mild soap and water.
WHEN
SHOULD I USE ALDARA CREAM?
Typically, dosing is once a day, 3 days a week:
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or Tuesday, Thursday,
and Saturday
Apply Aldara 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 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.
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 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.
Aldara cream may weaken condoms and diaphragms, so sexual
contact should be avoided while the 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 have also
been reported.
Do not cover warts with bandages or other closed dressings.
Avoid using overly large amounts of cream.
A thin layer that completely covers each wart is enough.
