FLONIDA 1% CREAM – 1 TUBE OF 10g

FLONIDA 1% CREAM is a specialized topical medication that contains Fluorouracil. It is used primarily to treat actinic keratoses—a pre-cancerous condition characterized by rough, scaly skin due to long-term sun exposure. Additionally, FLONIDA 1% CREAM is effective for treating superficial basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. By applying the cream to the affected areas, Fluorouracil works to destroy abnormal cells and promote healthier skin.

Usage Instructions
Dosage: Apply FLONIDA 1% CREAM as directed by your healthcare provider, typically once or twice daily.
Application: Gently apply a thin layer of cream to the affected area and rub in gently. Avoid applying to surrounding healthy skin.
Duration: Use for the duration prescribed by your healthcare provider, usually several weeks.
Avoid: Do not use on broken or infected skin unless advised by your healthcare provider.
Medicinal Advantages
FLONIDA 1% CREAM offers several benefits:

Treats Actinic Keratoses: Effective in managing pre-cancerous skin conditions caused by sun exposure.
Manages Basal Cell Carcinoma: Helps in the treatment of superficial basal cell carcinoma.
Promotes Skin Healing: Aids in the removal of abnormal skin cells, promoting healthier skin.
Localized Treatment: Targets specific areas without systemic side effects.
Mechanism of Action
FLONIDA 1% CREAM contains Fluorouracil, a chemotherapeutic agent that interferes with DNA synthesis in abnormal skin cells. This action selectively destroys pre-cancerous and cancerous cells while allowing healthy skin to regenerate. The cream is applied topically to the affected area, where it exerts its effects locally.

Off-Label Uses
While FLONIDA 1% CREAM is primarily used for actinic keratoses and superficial basal cell carcinoma, it may also be used for other types of pre-cancerous skin conditions as determined by a healthcare provider.
