What is Aldara?
Aldara is a topical cream that contains the active ingredient imiquimod. It is primarily used in veterinary medicine to treat certain skin conditions in animals, such as non-genital warts caused by papillomavirus infections. Aldara works by stimulating the immune system to help the body fight off the virus and reduce the growth of warts. Animals may need Aldara if they have been diagnosed with non-genital warts or other skin conditions that can be effectively treated with imiquimod. Your veterinarian will be able to determine if Aldara is the appropriate treatment option for your pet based on their specific condition and medical history. It is important to always follow your veterinarian's instructions and dosage recommendations when using Aldara on your pet.
What problems could my pet have with Aldara?
While Aldara can be an effective treatment for certain skin conditions in animals, there are potential side effects and risks to be aware of. Some pets may experience skin reactions at the application site, such as redness, itching, or irritation. In some cases, the skin may become more sensitive or develop sores. It is important to monitor your pet closely while using Aldara and consult your veterinarian if you notice any concerning symptoms. Additionally, some pets may be sensitive or allergic to imiquimod, the active ingredient in Aldara. If your pet shows signs of an allergic reaction, such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or severe skin irritation, seek immediate veterinary care. It is crucial to use Aldara only as directed by your veterinarian and to follow the recommended dosage and application instructions. Do not use Aldara on areas of the skin that are broken, irritated, or infected. If you have any concerns or questions about using Aldara for your pet, always consult your veterinarian for guidance.
Is there anything I need to know about administering Aldara?
When administering Aldara to your pet, it is important to follow your veterinarian's instructions carefully. Here are some key points to keep in mind: 1. **Dosage**: Administer the prescribed amount of Aldara as directed by your veterinarian. Do not exceed the recommended dosage. 2. **Application**: Apply Aldara to the affected area of your pet's skin as instructed by your veterinarian. Make sure to wash your hands before and after applying the cream to prevent accidental exposure. 3. **Monitoring**: Keep a close eye on your pet for any signs of skin reactions or side effects after applying Aldara. If you notice any unusual symptoms, contact your veterinarian promptly. 4. **Avoid sensitive areas**: Do not apply Aldara to areas of the skin that are broken, irritated, or infected. This can lead to increased sensitivity and potential complications. 5. **Allergic reactions**: Watch out for signs of allergic reactions in your pet, such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or severe skin irritation. If any of these symptoms occur, seek immediate veterinary care. 6. **Consult your veterinarian**: If you have any concerns or questions about administering Aldara to your pet, do not hesitate to reach out to your veterinarian for guidance and clarification. By following these guidelines and working closely with your veterinarian, you can ensure the safe and effective use of Aldara for your pet's skin condition.
Important information to know when ordering prescription medicines
A prescription is required from your veterinarian before we can supply this product.
If this is a new prescription, to enable immediate dispensing, please ask the vet to send a copy of the prescription to us prior to mailing it.
If the original prescription is in your possession, then please upload this to your pet's profile in VetRx prior to mailing it.
Please note that we must receive either a copy of the prescription from the vet, or the original prescription before we can dispatch your order. This does unfortunately add to the order processing time, however this is a requirement placed upon all pharmacies by the Health Regulators.
Only once a conformant electronic prescription system is approved by NSW Health, will we be able to end the need for paper prescriptions.
