Aldara to Treat Venereal Warts part 2

Aldara cream should not be used by individuals who have allergies to any of the components in the cream.

During the time, Aldara is applied, sexual activity of all type is not recommended, and this means no oral, anal, or vaginal sex. For a female, great care should be exercised when the cream is applied near the vagina. It should not be applied anywhere on the inside of the vagina otherwise considerable pain and swelling can occur.

Males who are uncircumcised and have warts under the foreskin should retract the foreskin and clean the area on a daily basis

Aldara is not a cure for genital warts and new warts can occur after and during therapy

Because aldara may weaken condoms and vaginal diaphragms, it is recommended that these devices be used as a method of birth control. Because the effects of Aldara on the fetus are unknown, pregnant females and those who are breast feeding should avoid using the drug.

Aldara is only recommended for individuals over the age of 12

Aldara is not a cheap drug. It is not covered Medicare or any medical insurance plan. A 12 pack costs anywhere from $125-$175.

For those who do not have that kind of money, perhaps liquid nitrogen (cryotherapy) may be an alternative- cheap but a wee bit painful especially if the wart is large.

  1. To have this kind of disease is really embarrassing. It's a good thing that there is now an online health care assistance available. You can also shop your prescribed medication in their online pharmacy.
