What Is Efudix®?
Efudix® (fluorouracil 5%) is a prescription-only topical treatment used to target precancerous and superficial skin conditions, including:
(sun-induced pre-cancerous lesions)
in select cases
How It Works:
Efudix® interferes with the abnormal growth of precancerous skin cells, causing them to break down and be replaced by new, healthy skin.
This treatment must be prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional and applied according to medical guidance.

✔ Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice daily, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor.
✔ Gently rub in without excessive massaging.
✔ Continue treatment for the prescribed duration (typically 3 to 4 weeks or as directed).
✔ Avoid applying to healthy skin surrounding the treated area.
Correct application is key to maximizing effectiveness while minimizing irritation.
✔ Wash the treated area with water and a mild, non-soap cleanser (e.g., QV, Cetaphil, Dermaveen).
✔ Avoid regular soap, as it may cause irritation.
❌ Do not apply Efudix® near the eyes, lips, mouth, or nasal creases, as these areas are highly sensitive.
Expected Skin Reactions
✔ Redness, dryness, flaking, and crusting are normal signs that the treatment is working.
✔ The skin may feel irritated or inflamed, particularly in the later stages of treatment.
✔ Once the treatment course is complete, apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser (e.g., Cetaphil, Dermaveen, Eucerin, Dermeze) at least three times a day to support skin recovery.
