Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

EGCG 1%/Imiquimod 1% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of skin conditions, including Actinic Keratosis, Basal Cell Carcinoma, Squamous Cell Carcinoma, Melanoma, and Bowen's Disease.

EGCG, a polyphenol found in green tea, is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These properties can help to reduce inflammation and protect the skin from oxidative stress, which can contribute to the development of various skin conditions. Imiquimod, on the other hand, is an immune response modifier that has been successfully used in the treatment of a variety of skin conditions, including actinic keratosis, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, and Bowen's disease.

This semisolid formulation is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin for targeted treatment or absorption of active ingredients in a gel-like consistency. It is designed to be applied topically to the affected area and is generally well tolerated. However, it is important to note that this medication should not be used on broken or irritated skin. Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication to ensure its effectiveness and safety.

At Bayview Pharmacy, our team of compounding pharmacists is committed to providing the highest quality compounded medications to our patients. We understand the unique needs of each patient and work diligently to provide personalized medication solutions. If you have any questions about EGCG 1%/Imiquimod 1% Topical Gel or any other compounded medications, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are here to assist you with your healthcare needs.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

EGCG 1%/Imiquimod 1% Topical Gel is a compounded formulation that combines the therapeutic benefits of two active ingredients, EGCG and Imiquimod, to treat a range of skin conditions. EGCG, or epigallocatechin gallate, is a potent polyphenol derived from green tea, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Imiquimod, on the other hand, is an immune response modifier that aids in activating the body's natural defenses against certain skin diseases.

When applied to the affected area, the EGCG 1%/Imiquimod 1% Topical Gel works by reducing inflammation and stimulating the immune system to combat the disease. It has been shown to reduce tumor size, lower the risk of recurrence, and enhance the overall appearance of the skin.

The recommended usage for this topical gel is twice daily, and treatment should be continued until the condition has been fully resolved. However, it's important to note that EGCG 1%/Imiquimod 1% Topical Gel may cause skin irritation, redness, and itching. If these side effects occur, patients are advised to consult their healthcare provider immediately. Furthermore, patients should avoid sun exposure while using this medication, as it can exacerbate the risk of skin irritation.

Prescribers should be aware that EGCG 1%/Imiquimod 1% Topical Gel is not recommended for use in pregnant or breastfeeding women. It should also be avoided in patients with a known hypersensitivity to either of the active ingredients. If you have any questions or concerns about EGCG 1%/Imiquimod 1% Topical Gel, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
