Before applying the cream, wash your hands with soap and water, gently wash the treatment area with mild soap and water, and allow the skin to dry thoroughly. Apply Zyclara (Imiquimod) cream to the affected skin area once daily just before going to bed. Do not apply to areas larger than either the face or the balding scalp. Apply a thin layer of Zyclara (Imiquimod) onto the clean, dry AK lesion and rub gently into the skin until the cream is absorbed. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and nostrils. If the cream gets in your eyes, rinse them with large amounts of water. Wash your hands after using the medication. Do not apply an occlusive dressing (one made of airtight material) over Zyclara (Imiquimod).
Leave the medication on the skin area for approximately 8 hours, and then remove it by washing the treated area with mild soap and water. Continue to use Zyclara (Imiquimod) for a total of 2 treatment cycles of 2 weeks, separated by a 2-week period with no treatment, or as directed by your doctor. A rest period from medication for several days may be taken depending on your discomfort and the severity of skin reactions, as directed by your doctor. Each treatment cycle should not last longer than 2 weeks even if a rest period is taken.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
Zyclara (Imiquimod) is for external use only. Do not take it by mouth.
You may apply up to 2 packets or medication or 2 full actuations of the pump to the treatment area. If you are using the packets, use a new packet for each application. Throw away the remainder of an opened packet each time.
It is important to use Zyclara (Imiquimod) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and apply the cream at bedtime the next night. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store Zyclara (Imiquimod) at room temperature, prevent it from freezing, and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
