This unique formulation combines two active ingredients, Imiquimod at a concentration of 5% and EGCG at 1%. These two ingredients work synergistically to reduce inflammation and promote healing, making this topical gel an effective treatment for various skin conditions.

Imiquimod is a potent immune response modifier. It works by stimulating the body's immune system to fight certain skin diseases, reducing inflammation and promoting healing in the process. On the other hand, EGCG, or Epigallocatechin gallate, is a powerful antioxidant. It helps to mitigate oxidative stress and protect the skin from further damage, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the treatment.

This topical gel has been found to be effective in treating a variety of skin conditions, including but not limited to psoriasis, eczema, and actinic keratosis. The gel is applied directly to the affected area of the skin, typically twice daily or as directed by a healthcare provider. The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of the condition being treated.

Imiquimod 5%/Egcg 1% Topical Gel is dispensed in a semisolid formulation through a pump mechanism. This design facilitates easy and precise application on the skin, ensuring targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. The gel-like consistency of the formulation allows for a smooth application and absorption process.

Common side effects of this medication include redness, itching, burning, and irritation at the site of application. However, these are typically mild and subside as the body adjusts to the medication. It is crucial to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider when using this medication to ensure its effectiveness and minimize potential side effects.
