Content:
EFFICACY
Genital Warts
- Aldara™ 5% cream applied 3 times/ week for 4 months; 72% of warts in women and 33% in circumcised men
- Clearance rates from the glans penis in uncircumsized men is considerably higher: total clearance was achieved in 62% of the patients in the 3 times/ week group and by 57% in the once-daily group.
- Experience suggests that external genital wart clearance is even better if combined with other destructive therapy such as cryotherapy or laser.
