WHAT ZYCLARA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Zyclara 3.75% cream contains the active substance imiquimod, which is
an Immune Response
Modifier (to stimulate the human immune system).
This medicine is prescribed for the treatment of actinic keratosis in

This medicine stimulates your body’s own immune system to produce
_ _
natural substances which help
fight your actinic keratosis.
Actinic keratosis appears as rough areas of skin found in people who
have been exposed to a lot of
sunshine over the course of their lifetime. These areas can be the
same colour as your skin or are
greyish, pink, red or brown. They can be flat and scaly, or raised,
rough, hard and warty.
This medicine should only be used for actinic keratosis on the face or
scalp if your doctor has decided
that it is the most appropriate treatment for you.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Zyclara is indicated for the topical treatment of clinically typical,
nonhyperkeratotic, nonhypertrophic,
visible or palpable actinic keratosis (AK) of the full face or balding
scalp in immunocompetent adults
when other topical treatment options are contraindicated or less
appropriate.
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Zyclara (per application: up to 2 sachets, 250 mg imiquimod cream per
sachet) should be applied once
daily before bedtime to the skin of the affected treatment field
(area) for two treatment cycles of 2
weeks each separated by a 2-week no-treatment cycle or as directed by
the physician.
The treatment area is the full face or balding scalp.
Local skin reactions in the treatment area are in part anticipated and
common due to its mode of action
(see section 4.4). A rest period of several days may be taken if
required by the patient’s discomfort or
severity of the local skin reaction. However, neither 2-week treatment
cycle should be extended due to
missed doses or rest periods.
A transient increase in actinic keratosis counts may be observed
during treatment due to the likely
effect of imiquimod to reveal and treat subclinical lesions. Response
to treatment cannot be adequately
assessed until resolution of local skin reactions. Patients should
continue treatment as prescribed.
Treatment should be continued for the fu
