IMIQUIMOD (Aldara(tm)) cream is used to treat external genital or anal warts. However, because imiquimod does not kill the virus (HPV virus) that causes the warts, new warts may appear during or after treatment. Imiquimod cream may also be used to treat other skin conditions such as actinic keratosis or certain skin cancers. Generic imiquimod skin cream is not yet available.
What should my health care professional know before I receive imiquimod?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions: if you or your partner are using condoms or diaphragms for birth-control, an unusual or allergic reaction to imiquimod, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives, pregnant or trying to get pregnant, breast-feeding.
How should I use this medicine?
Apply imiquimod cream to the affected areas as directed on the prescription label. You will usually apply this cream every other day (3 times a week) until the warts are gone. Do not use the cream inside the vagina or rectum. Avoid getting imiquimod cream in your eyes. To treat warts, apply a thin layer of cream to the wart area (usually at bedtime) and rub in until the cream can no longer be seen. Uncircumcised males treating warts under the foreskin should pull back the foreskin and clean the area daily. Do not bandage or wrap the treated area. The treated area should be washed with mild soap and water 6-10 hours after applying the cream (usually upon waking).
Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed. Imiquimod cream has been used in adolescents 12 years of age and older.
What if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, use it as soon as you can. If it is almost time for your next dose, use only that dose. Do not use double or extra doses.
What drug(s) may interact with imiquimod?
Imiquimod treatment is not recommended until the skin has healed from any previous drug (example: podofilox or podophyllin resin) or surgical skin treatment.
Tell your prescriber or health care professional about all other medicines you are using or taking, including non-prescription medicines. Also tell your prescriber or health care professional if you are a frequent user of drinks with caffeine or alcohol, if you smoke, or if you use illegal drugs. These may affect the way your medicine works. Check with your health care professional before stopping or starting any of your medicines.
What side effects may I notice from receiving imiquimod?
Side effects that you should report to your prescriber or health care professional as soon as possible: skin ulcer, skin rash, unusual or severe skin reaction.
Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your prescriber or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome): redness of the skin (very common but is usually not painful or harmful), burning or itching, erosion or flaking of the skin treatment area, headache, scabbing, swelling of the skin.
What should I watch for while taking imiquimod?
Visit your health care professional for regular checks on your progress. Females should receive regular pelvic exams as recommended by their prescribers.
You will notice improvement in your condition gradually. Most patients experience improvement within 4 weeks. However, it may take up to 16 weeks to see a full clearing of the warts. Imiquimod cream is not a cure. New warts may develop during or after treatment.
Sexual (genital, anal, oral) contact should be avoided while the cream is on the skin.
The only way to prevent infecting others with the HPV virus (the virus that causes genital warts) is to avoid direct skin-to-skin contact. If warts are visible in the genital area, sexual contact should be avoided until the warts are treated. Experts advise that using latex condoms during sexual contact may reduce, but not entirely prevent, infecting others.
Do not rely on condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps or other "barrier" devices as your sole method of birth control. Imiquimod cream may weaken these devices and make them less effective at birth control.
Where can I keep my medicine?
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store at room temperature below 25 degrees C (77 degrees F). Do not freeze. Throw away any unused portion after the expiration date. |
