FLONIDA 5% CREAM 10 GM 1 tube

Flonida 5 percent Cream 10 Gram 

Flonida 5 percent Cream 10 gm belongs to a class of anti-cancer drugs known as ‘antimetabolites,’ which are used to treat cancers of the breast, skin, colon, rectum, and stomach. Cancer is a disease in which aberrant cells multiply uncontrollably and cause tissue destruction. Some of the body’s cells begin to divide uncontrollably into all cancer forms and spread throughout the body’s tissues. Cancer can be isolated (benign) or spread throughout the body (malignant) (metastasized).

Flonida 5 percent Cream 10 gm contains ‘Fluorouracil,’ which inhibits the growth of cancer cells’ genetic material (DNA and RNA). This stops cancer cells from proliferating and expanding, ultimately killing them. Colon cancer, oesophageal (food pipe) cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer, and cervical cancer are all treated with Flonida 5 percent Cream 10 gm.

Concerns of Patients

Breast cancer is a form of cancer that arises in breast cells after being triggered by oestrogen, a female sex hormone. Breast cancer can develop in the lobules (milk-producing glands), ducts (the channel that transports milk from glands to the nipple), fatty tissue, or fibrous connective tissue of the breast. Tumor cells infiltrate healthy breast cells and go to lymph nodes, which serve as a key channel for cancer cells to spread throughout the body. A lump in the breast or tissue thickening that feels different than the typical surrounding tissues, breast pain, redness, swelling, and nipple discharge other than breast milk are all signs of breast cancer.

Stomach cancer (gastric cancer) is a form of cancer that arises from the lining of the stomach. Smoking, a high-processed or salty-food diet, and a severe H. pylori bacterial infection are all risk factors. Feeling bloated after eating, feeling full after eating tiny amounts of food, nausea, heartburn, or indigestion are all symptoms of stomach cancer.

Skin cancer is defined as abnormal cell proliferation on the surface of the skin. UV light exposure causes skin cancer, which is much more likely in people who are darkly pigmented. The majority of skin malignancies are caused by DNA mutations in epidermal cells caused by UV radiation.
