Indications

Contraindications

Scientific Evidence

Studies have shown that Aldara cream is effective in treating external genital warts by stimulating the body’s immune response to the HPV virus. Imiquimod, the active ingredient in Aldara, activates toll-like receptors leading to the production of cytokines that enhance the immune system’s ability to recognize and destroy the virus.

Additional Information

Aldara cream may cause local skin reactions such as redness, swelling, or itching at the application site. These side effects are usually mild to moderate and resolve with continued use. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and application instructions to achieve the best results.

Before using Aldara cream, consult your healthcare provider to determine if it is the right treatment for your condition. Clinical trials have shown Aldara to be well-tolerated and effective in the management of external genital warts, with a low risk of systemic side effects.
