Which topical agent is used for the treatment of genital warts?

  1. azithromycin cream

  2. Imiquimod cream

  3. doxy cream

  4. amoxicillin cream

The correct answer is: Imiquimod cream

Imiquimod cream is the topical agent that is most commonly used for the treatment of genital warts. This is because it is an immune response modifier, meaning it works by activating the body's immune system to fight off the virus that causes genital warts. Azithromycin, doxy, and amoxicillin creams are all antibiotics and are not effective for treating viral infections like genital warts. It is important to use the specific medication recommended by a healthcare provider for the treatment of genital warts, as using the wrong medication can lead to ineffective treatment and potentially worsen the condition.
