Aldara 5% Cream In Pakistan

Aldara 5% Cream contains imiquimod, an immune-response modifier used as a prescription topical treatment for specific skin conditions. Each 250mg sachet contains 12.5mg of imiquimod, equivalent to a 5% cream.

Unlike an ordinary cosmetic cream, Aldara is a medicated prescription product and should be used only for the condition and treatment schedule prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional.

Uses of Aldara 5% Cream

Depending on the patient's condition, imiquimod 5% cream may be prescribed for:

• External genital and perianal warts
• Actinic keratosis
• Superficial basal cell carcinoma

The appropriate application frequency and duration are different for each condition, so the treatment schedule should come from the prescribing doctor.

How Aldara Works

The active ingredient imiquimod stimulates the local immune response in the treated skin. This helps the body's immune system respond to certain abnormal or virus-associated skin lesions.

How To Use Aldara 5% Cream

Use exactly according to your doctor's instructions.

For products supplied in single-use sachets, a new sachet is used for each prescribed application. The treatment area should generally be cleaned with mild soap and water and allowed to dry before application. The cream is commonly applied before bedtime and left on the skin for the period specified by the prescribing instructions.

Do not increase the amount or frequency yourself. Imiquimod can cause significant local skin reactions when overused.
