Aldara is a topical medication containing the active ingredient imiquimod. It is used to treat certain skin conditions such as actinic keratosis and genital warts. The drug works by activating toll-like receptor 7 on skin cells. This activation triggers the release of interferon alpha and other cytokines. The resulting immune response leads to the destruction of abnormal cells in the treated area. As a result Aldara helps clear lesions and reduce symptoms of the targeted skin disorders.

Aldara is a topical cream containing imiquimod that is applied to the skin. The active ingredient is a synthetic molecule that activates immune pathways. It works by binding to toll-like receptor 7 and 8 on certain skin cells. Activation of these receptors leads to the release of signaling proteins such as interferons and cytokines. These signaling proteins stimulate the immune system to recognize and clear abnormal cells. This immune response helps to eliminate viral warts and lesions that appear on the genital area or skin. The medication is used to treat conditions such as external genital warts and actinic keratosis.
