Is it allowed to take Imiquimod during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Topical immune-modulator drug used in the treatment of genital warts. Less than 1% is absorbed and no trace has been detected in the serum. Like other dermatological products its use is safe while breastfeeding. However, it is advisable to avoid using it on the breast, or, to wash it out thoroughly to prevent the baby swallowing it, or, having any contact with it.

I used the medication as directed with caution. Saw absolutely no response of any sort. Thought perhaps it might be a counterfeit and notified FDA. They are investigating.
