Aldara Cream is a topical medication that contains the active ingredient imiquimod. It is used to treat genital warts, which are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). The cream works by stimulating the body’s immune response, leading to the destruction of the warts.
Aldara Cream is primarily used for the treatment of genital warts. It is also sometimes prescribed for the treatment of certain skin cancers, such as superficial basal cell carcinoma.
Aldara Cream works by activating the body’s immune system to produce interferon, a substance that helps the body fight viruses. This immune response helps to eliminate the HPV virus, which in turn leads to the clearance of genital warts.
Aldara Cream is suitable for adults and children over the age of 12. It is not suitable for use in children under 12 years of age. It should not be used by individuals who are allergic to any of the ingredients in the cream.
To apply Aldara Cream:
Aldara Cream should be applied 3 times per week, for example, on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The duration of treatment may vary, but it is usually applied for up to 16 weeks.
You can buy Aldara Cream online from our online genital warts treatment clinic by completing a free consultation. Once reviewed by a licensed pharmacist, your prescription will be issued, and your medication delivered in discrete packaging.
