FAQs

Answers to Popular Questions About Aldara

What is Aldara cream?

Aldara is a prescription topical cream containing imiquimod 5%. It is an immune response modifier used to treat external genital and perianal warts (condylomata acuminata) caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC), and actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous skin lesions). Aldara works by stimulating the body’s own immune system to fight the HPV virus or abnormal skin cells. It is manufactured by Viatris (formerly Meda/Mylan) and is a prescription-only medicine.

How does Aldara work?

Imiquimod is an immune response modifier that activates toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) on immune cells, triggering the production of cytokines including interferon-alpha, tumour necrosis factor, and interleukins. This activates both innate and adaptive immune responses against HPV-infected cells and abnormal skin cells. For genital warts, this immune activation leads to clearance of the HPV-infected tissue. For skin cancers, it promotes immune-mediated destruction of abnormal cells.

What is Aldara used for?

Aldara is licensed for three indications: (1) external genital and perianal warts in adults; (2) small superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC) in adults when surgery is not appropriate; (3) clinically typical actinic keratoses on the face or scalp in immunocompetent adults when other topical treatments are not suitable. It is most commonly prescribed in the UK for genital warts.

How do I apply Aldara for genital warts?

Apply a thin layer of Aldara cream to clean, dry wart tissue three times per week (for example, Monday, Wednesday, Friday) at bedtime. Leave the cream on for 6–10 hours then wash off with mild soap and water. Use only enough cream to cover the warts — avoid applying to surrounding healthy skin. Continue treatment until warts clear or for a maximum of 16 weeks. Wash hands before and after application. Use a new sachet for each application and discard any remaining cream.

How long does Aldara take to clear warts?

Wart clearance with Aldara is gradual and typically takes 8–16 weeks. Some patients see initial results within 4 weeks, while others may take the full 16-week course. During treatment, the skin around the warts often becomes red, sore, and may blister — this is a sign that the immune response is active and is expected. Complete clearance rates are approximately 50–75% for external genital warts. If warts persist after 16 weeks, consult your prescriber about alternative treatments.

What are the side effects of Aldara?

Local skin reactions are very common and expected — they indicate the immune response is working. These include redness, erosion, flaking, swelling, scabbing, and burning at the application site. Headache, flu-like symptoms, and myalgia can occur as part of the systemic immune response. If skin reactions are severe, take a break from treatment for a few days before resuming. Do not apply to broken or infected skin. Severe ulceration should be assessed by your prescriber.

Can I have sex while using Aldara for genital warts?

Aldara cream can weaken condoms and diaphragms, so avoid sexual contact while the cream is on the skin. Wash the cream off before sexual activity. Genital warts are contagious through skin-to-skin contact, and condoms may not fully protect against HPV transmission as they do not cover all affected areas. Discuss the implications with your sexual partner(s) and your prescriber.

Can I use Aldara during pregnancy?

Aldara should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary. There is limited human safety data. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, discuss alternative wart treatments with your doctor. Physical treatments such as cryotherapy are generally preferred during pregnancy. Aldara should not be used during breastfeeding.
