Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Imiquimod 5%/Egcg 1% Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a range of skin conditions. 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.

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.

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.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to providing comprehensive information and support to all our patients.

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.
