Buy Actikerall (Fluorouracil/Salicylic Acid) from Maple Leaf Medications.

What is Actikerall used for?

Actikerall is a topical solution with the generic name fluorouracil/salicylic acid. It is a highly effective and potent medication used to treat skin conditions such as solar (actinic) keratosis and skin cancers. 

This medication is available in a solution formulation with a strength of 0.5/10%.

How does Actikerall work? 

This topical medication is a combination of fluorouracil and salicylic acid; both drugs work well together on certain skin conditions. Fluorouracil belongs to antineoplasm drugs. It works by altering cell division and growth. As a result, it slows down the growth of cells because, in actinic keratosis conditions, cells are growing fast. 

Salicylic acid is a keratolytic agent. It works by breaking down the outer layer of the skin to allow fluorouracil medication to be absorbed more effectively.
