Imiquad - Imiquimod 5% Cream

Imiquimod is a topical immune response modifier used to treat certain skin conditions, including external genital and perianal warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), actinic keratoses, and superficial basal cell carcinoma. It works by stimulating the local immune system to produce substances that help the body recognize and eliminate abnormal or infected skin cells. Imiquimod is applied directly to the affected area according to the prescribed treatment schedule, which varies depending on the condition and formulation. Common local reactions may include redness, swelling, itching, burning, irritation, scaling, or tenderness at the application site. Treatment should be used only as directed by a qualified healthcare professional, and excessive or prolonged application may increase skin irritation.
