Imiquimod (generic Aldara) cream is a topical medication containing the active ingredient imiquimod. It is used primarily for treating genital warts and certain precancerous skin conditions such as actinic keratosis. Imiquimod works by stimulating the body’s immune response to fight the virus causing the warts and to clear abnormal skin cells.
Imiquimod cream is used to treat external genital and perianal warts caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). It is also prescribed for actinic keratosis, a skin condition caused by sun damage that may lead to skin cancer if untreated.
Imiquimod works by activating the immune system to produce interferon and other cytokines, helping the body recognize and eliminate the HPV virus and abnormal skin cells.
Imiquimod is suitable for adults and children over 12 years of age with genital warts or actinic keratosis. It should not be used by people allergic to imiquimod or other ingredients in the cream.
To apply Imiquimod cream:
Imiquimod cream is typically applied 3 times per week (e.g., Monday, Wednesday, Friday) for up to 16 weeks.
You can buy Imiquimod cream online from our online genital warts treatment clinic after completing a free consultation with a licensed pharmacist.
