Use in Pregnancy (Category B): There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Imiquimod was not found to be teratogenic in rat or rabbit teratology studies. In rats at high maternally toxic dose (28 times human dose on a mg/mm2 basis), reduced pup weights and delayed ossification were observed. In developmental studies with offspring of pregnant rats treated with imiquimod (8 times human dose), no adverse effects were demonstrated.
Use in Lactation: It is not known whether topically applied imiquimod is excreted in breast milk.
