FLUOROPLEX CREAM (FLUOROURACIL)
Fluoroplex Cream Description
Who doesn’t enjoy the warmth of a sunny day, basking in its rays, picnics, and bar-b-ques? Unfortunately, without proper apparel and a good sunscreen product, sunburn is likely. Many people want that tanned look and spend hours on the beach or in a tanning salon to achieve that image. After prolonged periods of exposure to the UV rays, you have an increased risk of a pre-cancerous skin condition called actinic keratosis (AK). This appears as scaly or crusted lesions on the skin areas more likely to be affected by too much sunlight, such as a bald head, face, ears, back of hands, and arms. Your doctor may prescribe Fluoroplex Cream to treat the damaged skin and reduce the danger of skin cancer.
Treat Actinic Keratosis to Reduce the Risk of Skin Cancer
Fluoroplex Cream or generic Fluorouracil is an antimetabolite, which is very close to the normal substances in your own skin cells. When applied as directed, Fluoroplex Cream attacks the damaged cells during a specific phase of the growth cycle and interferes with the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid) synthesis so the cancerous and/or pre-cancerous cells are unable to copy themselves so they die. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.
Conditions Treated by Fluoroplex Cream
Treating actinic keratosis is important before more damage from UV rays is inflicted and the damage sinks deeper into the basal layer of your skin. This can result in basil cell carcinoma (BCC) which often resembles an open sore. Your best chance to escape the risks that UVA and UVB rays can bring is to be smart when outdoors and find shade, wear protective clothing, and apply at least a 15 SPF (sun protection factor) sunscreen periodically. You can also perform regular ‘skin checks’ to look for new or worsening patches or lesions on your body or have your doctor examine your skin.
Before Fluoroplex Cream is Applied
Ask your doctor if Fluoroplex Cream is safe to apply while you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or are breast feeding. To determine if Fluoroplex Cream is right for you, tell your doctor about other medical conditions or allergies you have and list any OTC or Rx drugs you take or use, including herbal remedies and vitamin or dietary supplements.
Fluoroplex Cream Precautions and Proper Use
If any Fluoroplex Cream gets in your nose, mouth, or genital area, you should rinse the area thoroughly. If your eye(s) are affected, rinse immediately and make arrangements to see your doctor as soon as possible. Washing your hands and wearing gloves are important to avoid other areas being exposed to Fluoroplex Cream. Avoid sunlight and tanning booths /beds while using Fluoroplex Cream as your skin can be more sensitive during treatment.
Possible Side Effects of Fluoroplex Cream
Skin rash
Burning sensations
Redness at treated areas
Increased skin sensitivity
