When applied to the skin, Efudex 2 g/40g may cause redness, swelling, and irritation at the application site. These effects are part of the normal healing process as the cream works to remove damaged skin cells. Users may also experience dryness, peeling, or crusting of the skin.

Efudex 2 g/40g should only be applied to the skin and avoided in sensitive areas such as the eyes, mouth, and nose. It is important to keep the treated area clean and protected from sunlight.

Efudex 2 g/40g may interact with other topical medications, so it is advisable to inform your healthcare provider about all products you are using. Avoid using other skin treatments on the same area without medical advice. Additionally, certain medications that increase skin sensitivity to sunlight may enhance the effects of Efudex, so caution is advised.
