Aldara®

How Does Aldara Work?
External genital and perianal warts are cause by a virus called Human Papilloma Virus. These wart-like growths are oftentimes referred to as condyloma acuminata. While Aldara itself has not been demonstrated to have any of its own antiviral activity, Aldara cream is an immune response modifier that stimulates the body's own immune response system and helps the body fight this virus. It may do this via the induction of cytokines like alpha-interferon. Alpha-interferon is a complex compound normally produced by the human body that does have potent antiviral activity.

How Effective Is Aldara?
In a large clinical trial 50% of patients had complete clearing of their warts. The mean time to complete wart clearing was 10 weeks.

How Quickly Does Aldara Work?
Aldara cream can effectively clear genital warts as quickly as 4 weeks, although the average time to healing is 10 weeks and may take as long as 16 weeks. Results vary from person to person.

How Do I 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.

When Should I Use Aldara Cream?
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.

Can I Have Sex While Using Aldara Cream?
Sexual contact should be avoided while the cream is on the skin. If you decide to have sexual relations, apply Aldara cream after - not before - sexual activity. If you have already applied the cream, it should be washed off before sexual activity. In addition, Aldara cream may weaken condoms and diaphragms; therefore the cream should not be left on during sexual activity. The effect of Aldara cream on the transmission of genital warts is unknown.

Side Effects
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.

Important Additional Information
Because Aldara cream doesn't cure Human Papilloma Virus, the cause of genital and perianal warts, 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.

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.

Aldara Side Effects
Usually the skin reactions that occur are mild or moderate. Redness, skin erosion (wearing away), flaking, swelling, itching/burning or scabbing might occur. If these persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. Should a severe skin reaction occur, remove the medication by washing the area with mild soap and water and promptly contact your doctor. Report promptly any flu-type symptoms (e.g., fever, muscle aches) or rash if they occur while using ALDARA. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

How To Use Aldara
ALDARA: Wash hands before and after use. Rub a thin layer to affected wart area, usually 3 times weekly at bedtime. Use externally only and leave on the skin for 6-10 hours. ALDARA is packaged in a single use packet and should only be used once. Do not use any leftover cream from an opened pouch. Do not cover warts with bandages or other closed dressings. After the 6-10 hour period, remove the cream by washing the area with mild soap and water. Follow MD instructions exactly and complete your prescribed treatment which is normally until the warts are gone or for a (usual) maximum of 16 weeks. Learn proper use techniques.

Aldara Uses
ALDARA is used for external genital and external anal warts (or condyloma).

Aldara Precautions
Before using ALDARA, tell your doctor your medical history, especially of any allergies (including drug allergies), previous drug or surgical treatment of the genital or anal wart area or any skin conditions. Sexual contact should be avoided while the drug is on the skin. ALDARA may weaken condoms and vaginal diaphragms. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant before using ALDARA. It is not known whether ALDARA is excreted into human milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding. Caution is advised using ALDARA in persons under 18 years of age.

Aldara Drug Interactions
Tell your doctor of all nonprescription and prescription medication you use. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.

Aldara Overdose
If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately. This medicine may be harmful if swallowed. Symptoms of overdose may include severe flaking, cracking, or swelling of affected area; fainting; weakness; and dizziness.

Aldara Notes
Expect gradual improvement, with some redness occurring. New warts may develop during treatments as ALDARA is not a cure. Do not share ALDARA with others.

Missed Aldara Dose
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.

Aldara Storage
Store at room temperature below 86 degrees F (30 degrees C) away from light and moisture. Avoid freezing.
