A member asked:

Can imiquimod & podophyllotoxin be used concurrently? one to burn off the warts, and the other for a concurent immune response to prevent recurrence?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a physician: They can potentially be administered together, however, Podophyllin has been to potentially have severe allergic reactions so should only be administered in a doctor's office so that you can be observed. See a doctor that is comfortable administering the medication before you apply this medication on your own.
