Description
Indications
Fluorouracil topical solution is prescribed for the treatment of actinic or solar keratoses, which are characterized by scaly or crusted lesions on the skin resulting from excessive exposure to sunlight over an extended period. This medication is utilized when conventional treatments are not viable for the management of superficial basal cell carcinoma, a specific type of skin cancer.
Fluorouracil belongs to a class of medications known as antimetabolites. Its mechanism of action involves the elimination of rapidly proliferating cells, including the abnormal cells found in actinic keratoses and basal cell carcinoma.
Uses and Dosage
Fluorouracil is available as a solution and cream, intended for topical application on the skin. It is typically recommended to apply it twice a day to the affected areas.
To ensure regular use, apply fluorouracil at consistent times each day. Adhere strictly to the prescribed directions, avoiding both excessive and insufficient application, as well as exceeding the recommended frequency.
If you are using fluorouracil for the treatment of actinic or solar keratoses, continue the application until the lesions begin to peel off, which typically occurs within 2 to 4 weeks. Complete healing may take an additional 1 to 2 months after discontinuation of fluorouracil.
For the treatment of basal cell carcinoma, the use of fluorouracil should be continued until the lesions have completely resolved. This usually takes a minimum of 3 to 6 weeks, but can extend up to 10 to 12 weeks.
During the initial weeks of treatment, the affected skin lesions and surrounding areas may experience irritation, appearing red, swollen, and scaly. This indicates the effectiveness of fluorouracil. Do not discontinue the use of fluorouracil unless specifically instructed by your doctor.
When applying fluorouracil cream, use a nonmetal applicator, a glove, or your finger. If applying with your finger, ensure thorough hand washing immediately afterward. Unless directed by your doctor, do not cover the treated areas with bandages or dressings.
Avoid applying fluorouracil cream or topical solution to the eyelids, eyes, nose, or mouth.
