Product introduction

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.

Uses of Imiquad Cream

Benefits of Imiquad Cream

Treatment of Genital warts
Imiquad Cream (0.25gm Each) is used for the treatment, control, prevention, and improvement of genital warts (skin bumps on or around the genital or anal area). It effectively removes the warts, promotes healing of injured skin and helps in formation of new healthy layers of skin.

How Imiquad Cream works

Imiquad Cream (0.25gm Each) works in genital warts by triggering the immune system to produce natural substances which help fight against the virus, that causes warts. Researchers don't know how exactly it works in actinic keratosis or basal cell cancer.

  • Apply the cream at night, usually 2-3 times a week, and leave it on for the recommended 6-10 hours. Wash it off in the morning with mild soap and water.
  • If you experience skin irritation, redness, or dryness, consider using a mild, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe the area.
