IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
EFUDEX® (fluorouracil) Topical Solutions and Cream 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.
EFUDEX is contraindicated in women who are, or may become, pregnant during therapy because of potential hazards to the fetus. Cases of miscarriage and birth defects have been reported in women who are pregnant.
The most frequent adverse events occur locally and may include itching, burning, soreness, tenderness, scaling, and swelling. Application to mucous membranes should be avoided due to the possibility of local inflammation and ulceration.
