Immune response modifiers are used to treat health conditions like genital warts, actinic keratosis, and certain types of cancer. These medications are thought to work by stimulating your immune system to fight off abnormal cells or infections. Some come in topical forms, like imiquimod (Zyclara) and sinecatechins (Veregen), while others are injectable, such as Anktiva.
