Aldara™ (imiquimod) Cream, 5% Is The Newest Way To Treat External Genital Warts
Aldara cream is used to treat external genital and perianal warts and is different from most other treatments. It is a patient-applied cream that helps the body fight the virus instead of just getting rid of the warts. So Aldara cream actually treats warts from the inside out. *
In a recent survey of patient and physician treatment preferences, patients reported better overall satisfaction, more convenience and less associated pain with Aldara than with previously used therapies for genital warts. Physicians also rated Aldara as preferable to other treatments in terms of convenience, less associated pain and patient compliance.
Where can I order Aldara from? Can I buy Aldara at Canadian prices?
Yes, if you are from the U.S. then you can buy Aldara at Canadian prices. Currently we will only accept an order for Aldara from U.S. and Canadian residents. Both U.S. and Canadian residents require a prescription to purchase Aldara and when you order Aldara it will be shipped with express shipping.
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.
Aldara cream can effectively clear genital warts as early as 4 weeks, although it can take as long as 16 weeks. Results vary from person to person. In clinical trials, about one-half of patients completely cleared their warts.
Aldara cream is easy to use at home. It's rubbed on the warts and left on during sleeping hours. Then it's washed off after waking.
There are some things people who use Aldara cream should know:
- Because Aldara cream doesn't cure HPV, 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

How Does Aldara Cream Work?
Aldara cream is an immune response modifier that stimulates the body's own immune response system and helps the body fight the virus. *
How Do I Use Aldara Cream?
Aldara cream is rubbed directly on the wart(s). It should not be taken by mouth or used in or near the eyes.
How To 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.
Always apply Aldara cream as directed by your health care provider.
When Should I Use Aldara Cream?
It is important to use Aldara cream as directed by your health care provider. 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. Your health care provider can tell you how often and for how long you need to use Aldara cream.
Will I Get Any Side Effects From Aldara Cream?
There are some side effects associated with Aldara cream. Side effects are most often at the wart area and are usually mild to moderate.
Most common side effects are redness, peeling, and swelling in the area where Aldara cream is applied.
Some patients have also experienced burning, itching, and pain where Aldara cream was applied. These may be caused by the response of your body's immune system to the drug. However, if you experience a severe skin reaction, contact your health care provider.
What Should I Avoid While Using Aldara Cream?
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.
Who Should Not Use Aldara Cream?
Aldara cream has not been studied in pregnant women. If you are pregnant, check with your health care provider. Additionally, Aldara cream should not be applied to warts inside the vagina or anus.
As with any prescription medicine, there are some general rules you should follow:
- Always use Aldara cream as directed by your doctor or health care provider
- Try to stick to your dosing schedule
- Discard any unused cream after each application
- Do not share Aldara cream with anyone else; it was prescribed only for you
- Keep Aldara cream and all medicines out of the reach of children.

Aldara cream may weaken condoms and diaphragms. Avoid sexual contact while the cream is on the skin. The most common side effects are redness, peeling, itching, burning, and swelling in the wart area and yeast infection in women. Buy Discount Aldara Drug Online From 77 Canada Pharmacy
