How Does It Work?

Interactions with other medicines

• Medicines that suppress the immune system (such as corticosteroids, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, methotrexate, or chemotherapy drugs), as imiquimod may work less effectively or cause stronger immune reactions.
• Long-term use of steroid creams on the same area, which may reduce the effect of imiquimod or irritate the skin.
• Other topical medicines or skin treatments applied on the same area, which may increase skin irritation or redness.
• Strong immune-modulating medicines used for autoimmune diseases, which may change how the body responds to imiquimod.
• Multiple skin products (medicated creams, ointments, or cosmetics) used together on the treated area, which may worsen skin reactions.

Interactions with food items

• Food does not affect the action of imiquimod cream because it is applied on the skin, not taken by mouth.
• You can eat normally while using this medicine.
• There are no known specific food restrictions with imiquimod cream.
• Maintaining a healthy diet and good hydration may help support your immune system during treatment.
