Fluorouracil is recommended for the topical treatment of multiple actinic or solar keratoses. In the 5% strength, it is also useful in the treatment of superficial basal cell carcinomas when conventional methods are impractical, such as with multiple lesions or difficult treatment sites. Safety and efficacy in other indications have not been established. The diagnosis should be established prior to treatment, since this method has not been proven effective in other types of basal cell carcinomas. With isolated, easily accessible basal cell carcinomas, surgery is preferred since success with such lesions is almost 100%. The success rate with fluorouracil topical solution is approximately 93%, based on 113 lesions in 54 patients. Twenty-five lesions treated with the solution produced 1 failure.How to Use
Use Fluorouracil under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional. Use it only according to the approved label and the instructions of a qualified healthcare professional. Do not start, stop, change the dose, split or crush a dosage form, mix with other medicines, or repeat a course unless the approved product information or a clinician confirms that it is appropriate. Check the local prescribing information for age limits, dose adjustments, missed-dose instructions, storage after opening or reconstitution, and monitoring requirements.Specification
