Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Impeklo Work?

Imiquimod acts by stimulating immune cells in the skin to produce cytokines, such as interferon, which enhance the local immune response. This stimulation helps the body to target and destroy abnormal cells, including those infected with viruses or those that are cancerous. By promoting an immune response, Impeklo helps clear lesions and prevents the growth of abnormal cells.
