Aldara is a topical treatment cream that stimulates the immune system to fight genital warts. It contains imiquimod which is an immuno modulator. Whilst Aldara is also recommended for the treatment of larger warts, it is most effective with smaller, soft warts. Most patients usually see an improvement of their symptoms within 4 weeks.

| Description |
Aldara Cream contains the active ingredient imiquimod and is used to treat warts (condylomata acuminata) on the surface of the genitals (sexual organs) and around the anus (back passage). Aldara cream helps your body's own immune system to produce natural substances which help fight the virus that has caused your warts. |
|||
| Suitability |
Do not use Aldara Cream if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to imiquimod or any of the other ingredients listed in the patient information leaflet. |
|||
| Pregnancy and Breastfeeding |
Your doctor will discuss the risks and benefits of using Aldara cream during pregnancy. Studies in animals do not indicate direct or indirect harmful effects in pregnancy. Do not breastfeed your infant during treatment with Aldara cream, as it is not known whether imiquimod is secreted in human milk. |

| Please Note |
All medication can cause side effects. We have only listed a few to be aware of. Details of all side effects, including rare side effects to be aware of, are listed in the patient information leaflet (PIL). When completing your medical questionnaire, it is very important that you answer the questions truthfully. This is to ensure your doctor has a full picture of your medical history before prescribing. List all medicines you are already taking, including non-prescription and herbal medicines. |

| Alternatives |
Warts can also be treated by physical removal such as freezing, diathermy (burning) or laser. Treatment can sometimes require several visits and recurrences can occur after any form of treatment. |
