Florouracil is the non-proprietary name for a chemotherapy agent. It is an antimetabolite medication, which ultimately stops cells from dividing.

It's possible to buy Florouracil in three formulas:

• Fluid for injection into a vein - used to treat colon, esophageal, stomach, pancreatic, breast, cervical, and skin cancer.
• Topical cream or solution - used to treat actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma.
• Eye drops - used to treat ocular surface squamous neoplasia.

Florouracil is an effective treatment for the types of cancer listed above, but it is chemotherapy and it will produce side effects. This is a potent medication that should be taken with care; follow doctor instructions closely and attend all scheduled checkups.

Most patients buy Florouracil under the names Adrucil, Carac, Efudex, or Efudix, though it is available by many other names. Florouracil is also sometimes called 5-fluorouracil or 5-FU.

Intravenous Florouracil

Patients buy Florouracil for intravenous use to treat the majority of cancers the medication is effective against; only certain skin conditions and eyes are exempt. Treatment is always highly individualized when dealing with cancer, and it's very difficult to generalize dosage and treatment info in any way that would be helpful.

Florouracil may be used with other medications, but should only be used with those a doctor has approved of. All others---including over-the-counter supplements and vitamins---should be avoided. Do not take aspirin during treatment.

Duration of treatment is also variable, typically spanning several weeks to several months. Administration may take place in a medical setting, or patients can buy Florouracil for administration at home by self or a caretaker.

The majority of patients taking Florouracil will experience some side effects, which can be unpleasant. Most commonly experienced are:

• Severe nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Appetite loss
• Mouth sores
• Watery eyes
• Taste changes
• Low blood counts

More rare, but often more serious, side effects include:

• Hair thinning
• Chest pain
• Cardiovascular events
• Hand-foot syndrome
• Discoloration or loss of nails

Don't be afraid to contact a doctor about any concerning side effects, no matter how trivial they may seem.

Topical Florouracil

Patients buy Florouracil in this form to treat actinic keratosis and basal cell carcinoma. Creams and solutions are usually available in 1% or 5% strengths. A thin layer of the cream or solution is spread over the affected area. Creams or solutions should not come into contact with metal.

Those who use Florouracil to treat actinic keratoses:

• Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice per day.
• Treatment typically lasts from 2 to 4 weeks.
• Treatment should end when the erosion stage is reached.

The erosion stage is achieved when inflammation dies down and lesions begin to scab. A doctor can explain better what to watch for as far as ending treatment.

Those who buy Florouracil to treat basal cell carcinoma:

• Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice per day.
• Treatment typically lasts from 3 to 6 weeks.
• Treatment may last as long as 12 weeks, or until lesions are destroyed.

Skin should be fully healed within 1 to 2 months after the end of treatment.

In using topical medications, side effects are less likely to occur than in intravenous use, though topical use will produce pain, irritation, inflammation, and other symptoms while it's destroying lesions. More sensitive skin is also common.

Florouracil Eye Drops

In this application, most patients buy Florouracil eye drops to prevent ocular surface squamous neoplasia from returning after it has been surgically excised. Standard treatment is:

• Administer 1 drop in the affected eye, 2 to 4 times per day.
• Treatment should continue for 4 weeks.

Side effects from this use include eye discomfort, watery eyes, and inflamed eyelids.

This condition mostly effects older males in temperate regions. In tropical regions it may affect more young patients of both genders.
