Introduction to IMIQUAD 5% CREAM
IMIQUAD: Topical Immune Response Modifier for Skin Conditions
IMIQUAD 5% CREAM contains Imiquimod 5% w/w, a topical dermatological medicine belonging to the immune response modifier drug class. It is prescribed for the management of specific skin conditions where activation of the local immune response helps target abnormal skin cells or viral-related lesions.
Imiquimod works by stimulating the skin’s immune response, particularly through activation of immune pathways that promote the release of cytokines involved in antiviral and antitumour activity. It is commonly used in conditions such as external genital and perianal warts, actinic keratosis, and certain superficial basal cell carcinomas under specialist guidance.
IMIQUAD 5% CREAM is supplied as 3 single-use sachets and is intended for external topical application only according to the prescription provided by a healthcare professional.
