Aldara has been linked to some serious side effects. The most common serious side effect that Aldara may cause is anaphylactic shock or body-wide allergic reaction. This occurs when white blood cells overreact to perceived threats in the body. Symptoms of anaphylactic shock include rash, angioedema of the face, low blood pressure, death and throat swelling.
