Imiquad Cream (0.25gm Each)

About this Medicine

Imiquad Cream (0.25gm Each) is a medicine used to treat genital warts and actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin condition caused by sun damage. It works by boosting the immune system to attack and eliminate abnormal skin cells or viral infections. This helps reduce or clear warts and keratosis over time. For genital warts, apply a thin layer of Imiquad Cream (0.25gm Each) to the affected area at night, usually 3 times a week or as prescribed by your doctor. For actinic keratosis, use it as directed, typically for several weeks. Wash the area with soap and water before applying the medicine, and leave it on for the recommended duration (usually 6-10 hours). After that, wash the treated area thoroughly. Use it consistently for best results.Some common side effects include redness, swelling, itching, or burning at the application site. These are usually mild and go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. If you experience severe irritation or signs of infection, such as pus or intense pain, discontinue use and consult your doctor. Using a moisturizer or barrier cream can help minimize discomfort caused by skin irritation.Avoid applying Imiquad Cream (0.25gm Each) on broken, irritated, or inflamed skin unless advised by your doctor. Limit sun exposure, as this medicine can make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, increasing the risk of sunburn. Wear sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine.
