Aldara 5% Cream is a topical medication belonging to the immune response modifier drug class, with the active ingredient Imiquimod. It works by stimulating your body’s natural defenses. While using it, you may notice mild skin irritation, redness, dryness, or flaking where it’s applied. If you’re trying this cream for the first time, just know that some skin reaction is expected—this simply means it’s working on your skin. Always follow the directions carefully for better results and less discomfort.

Apply a thin layer of Aldara 5% Cream directly to the affected area and gently rub it in until fully absorbed; use only on the skin as directed by your doctor.

The typical dosage is applying the cream 2 to 3 times per week at bedtime, depending on the condition and your doctor’s instructions; do not exceed the prescribed schedule.

Aldara 5% Cream generally has a shelf life of 2 years from the manufacturing date, but always check the expiry on the packaging before use.

Store Aldara 5% Cream at room temperature below 25°C, away from moisture and heat; keep the tube tightly closed when not in use and out of reach of children.

Do not use if you are allergic to Imiquimod or any component of the formulation. Avoid if you have open wounds, broken skin, or extreme skin sensitivity, unless your healthcare provider has advised otherwise.

Since Aldara is a topical cream, food interactions are minimal. However, avoid using other topical treatments on the same area unless approved by your doctor, as this might cause increased skin irritation.

• Wash hands before and after applying the cream
• Use only at night unless directed otherwise
• Avoid sun exposure on the treated area
• Do not cover with airtight dressings
• Finish the full course even if symptoms improve early
• Dispose of single-use packets properly after one use
• Speak to your doctor if the reaction becomes severe
