What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Carac Overview
Carac is used on the skin to treat pre-cancerous and cancerous skin growths. Fluorouracil belongs to a class of medications known as anti-metabolites. It works by blocking the growth of abnormal cells that cause the skin condition.
How to Use Carac
Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using Carac and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Use Carac as directed by your doctor. Before you apply Carac to the skin, clean the affected area and dry well. Wait 10 minutes, then apply a small amount of medication to the affected skin, using just enough to cover the area with a thin film. Wash your hands immediately after applying Carac, even if you have used gloves. The treated area may become unsightly during treatment and in some cases for several weeks after treatment. Do not cover the area with tight dressings or plastic bandages. Check with your doctor whether you may cover the treated area loosely with gauze. Avoid applying Carac in or around the eyes or eyelids. Also, do not apply Carac inside the nose or mouth. If you do get the medication in these areas, rinse with plenty of water. Carac may cause serious harm (even death) in pets. Keep Carac securely away from pets, and do not allow pets to lick the area where the medication was applied. Contact your vet right away if your pet comes into contact with Carac. Use Carac exactly as prescribed. Do not stop using Carac without consulting your doctor. Do not increase your dose or use it more often than directed. Your condition will not clear faster, but side effects will be increased. If your condition worsens or does not improve, consult your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
