Imiquimod cream is the first choice drug for treatment of external genital warts.
You can use the cream at home rather than go in for treatments at your health care professional’s office.
There is a lower cost generic available.
You must remember to wash off the medicine with soap and water at the end of the treatment period (usually overnight).
Local skin reactions such as skin irritation are common after the use of imiquimod cream.
This cream works slowly and is not as quick as laser treatment or surgery.
Imiquimod does not cure external warts. More genital or anal warts can appear during treatment. It is unclear if imiquimod prevents the spread of external genital warts to others.
