Directions to Buy Aldara
Aldara Uses
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.
In a large clinical trial 50% of patients had complete clearing of
their warts. The mean time to complete wart clearing was 10 weeks.
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.

Aldara Dose 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.
Sex and Aldara
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.
Aldara
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.
