Actikerall solution contains two active substances, fluorouracil and salicylic acid. It is indicated for the treatment of actinic keratosis (grade I/II) in adult patients with a healthy immune system.
Actikerall works by causing the death of abnormal cells that are present in actinic keratosis lesions. This leads to the shedding of the lesion and the formation of new, healthy skin cells.
Actikerall is easy to use and is applied topically to the affected area(s) once daily for 3-4 weeks. Treatment with Actikerall may cause some skin irritation, redness, and peeling. These side effects are usually mild and temporary.
Fluorouracil belongs to a group of medicines known as antimetabolites, which inhibit the growth of cells (cytostatic agent). Salicylic acid is a substance to soften hard skin.

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist, if you are not sure.
Dosage
Actikerall should be applied once daily unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
If you have an actinic keratosis in an area of thin skin e.g. around the eyes and temple, your doctor may tell you to apply Actikerall less frequently. If severe side effects occur, reduce the frequency of drug application to three times per week until the side effects improve. It may also be necessary for your doctor to monitor your treatment more often.
Method of administration
For application to the skin (cutaneous use).
Further instructions
Actikerall must not be allowed to come into contact with the eyes, the inside of the mouth or nose or the genitals (mucous membranes).
Actikerall solution may permanently stain clothing, fabric or acrylics (such as acrylic bathtubs), so avoid contact with them.
Caution flammable: keep away from fire and do not use near an open flame, lit cigarette or some devices (e.g. hairdryers).
Consult your doctor regularly during treatment.
Duration of treatment
Actikerall is applied to actinic keratoses once daily until the lesions have completely cleared or for up to a maximum of 12 weeks. Improvement of actinic keratoses can be seen as early as 4 weeks after starting treatment and the improvement increases over time up to 12 weeks. The clearance of actinic keratoses may continue for up to 8 weeks after stopping treatment. Treatment should be continued even in the absence of any effect after the first 4 weeks.
If you have the impression that the effect of Actikerall is too strong or too weak, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
