Product Introduction

Flonida 5% Cream contains Fluorouracil, an anti-cancer agent used topically to manage actinic keratosis and certain superficial skin cancers. Actinic keratosis is characterized by rough, scaly patches caused by prolonged sun exposure.

This cream works by interfering with DNA and RNA synthesis in abnormal skin cells, inhibiting their growth and eventually destroying them. It is typically applied once or twice daily as advised by your doctor. Improvement may take days or weeks—continue using the cream as prescribed to ensure full benefit.

Key Benefits

🌟 Targets Abnormal Cells: Specifically acts on pre-cancerous and cancerous skin cells
🌟 Non-Invasive Therapy: Topical treatment without the need for surgery
🌟 Effective for Sun-Damaged Skin: Treats lesions caused by chronic UV exposure
🌟 Reduces Risk of Skin Cancer: Prevents progression of keratosis to malignancy
🌟 Visible Improvement: Gradually restores healthier skin over time

How It Works

Flonida 5% Cream contains Fluorouracil, which interferes with the production of DNA and RNA in abnormal cells. This stops their growth and causes them to die, helping to reduce lesions associated with actinic keratosis and prevent the development of skin cancer.
