Product Information

Aldara is used to treat solar keratosis (SK) on the face and scalp, superficial basal cell carcinoma (sBCC), and genital/perianal warts.

  • Solar keratoses are thickened, scaly patches of skin caused by too much sun exposure. Solar keratosis is also known as actinic keratosis.
  • Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer.
  • External genital/perianal warts (condyloma acuminata) are warts that appear on the surface of the penis or vulva (external female sexual organ) and around the anus.

Aldara is not recommended for use in patients under the age of 18 years as there have been no studies of its effects in this age group.

Your doctor may prescribe Aldara for another purpose. If you are not sure why you are using this medicine ask your doctor.

Dosage Information

Dosage

Aldara is used to treat several skin conditions. Your doctor will tell you where to apply Aldara cream, how often and for how long to apply it for your condition. Aldara should be applied just before bedtime and left on the skin for 6-10 hours. Talk to your doctor if your condition re-appears after treatment.

  • If your doctor has prescribed Aldara for the treatment of SK, it is to be applied once a day, at bedtime, three times a week or as recommended by your doctor. For three times a week application, Aldara can be applied Monday, Wednesday and Friday, or Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Treatment should continue for up to 16 weeks unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
  • If your doctor has prescribed Aldara for the treatment of sBCC, it should be applied to the affected area once a day at bedtime for five consecutive days per week (Monday to Friday), or as recommended by your doctor. Treatment should continue for 6 weeks unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
  • If your doctor has prescribed Aldara for the treatment of genital warts, it is to be applied once a day, at bedtime, three times a week or as recommended by your doctor. For three times a week application, Aldara can be applied on Monday, Wednesday and Friday; or Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Treatment should continue until the warts are completely gone. Aldara should not be used for more than 16 weeks at a time. It usually takes 8-10 weeks for your warts to disappear but warts may clear as early as 4 weeks. If your warts reappear, talk to your doctor.

If your skin reacts badly to Aldara your doctor may recommend that you stop treatment for a few days. It is not necessary to make up the doses that you missed or to prolong the treatment period.
