<h3>About Fluorouracil Cream </h3><p>Most commonly <strong>Fluorouracil Cream is prescribed for actinic keratosis</strong>, which shows up as&nbsp;rough, scaly patches on areas exposed to the sun, like your face and hands. Since actinic&nbsp;keratosis can potentially develop into skin cancer, treating it early is key.&nbsp;</p><p>Studies show Fluorouracil is highly effective here, clearing up 70-90% of actinic keratosis&nbsp;lesions after about 2 to 4 weeks.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Fluorouracil Cream is also effective for a specific type of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma. </strong>While it won’t be used&nbsp;for deeper, aggressive cases, for superficial cases, the success rate can be around 80-90% when&nbsp;you apply it as directed.</p><p>Your healthcare provider will&nbsp;recommend the best strength and form based on what you’re treating and the severity of your&nbsp;condition. Be sure to follow their instructions closely to get the best results.</p><p><br></p><h4>How Fluorouracil Cream Works</h4><p>Fluorouracil is an antimetabolite and a type of topical chemotherapy. When you apply it, it goes&nbsp; straight to work targeting and stopping the growth of those fast-dividing, abnormal skin cells. It&nbsp; prevents these cells from making the DNA they need to reproduce, so they eventually die off,&nbsp;which gives your skin a chance to heal and replace those damaged spots with new, healthy skin.</p>

I really love Marley’s quick responses and the fact that I can purchase a 6 month supply rather than running to the drugstore every 30/90 days. The staff is wonderful, helpful and knowledgeable.  I love working with Terri Reid. I would recommend Marley to friends.

The Wholesale Price List made my prescription easy to afford,  I was about to cancel my prescription because my monthly cost with insurance was almost $150!  Now I can get a 6-month supply for only $37, which is much less money than a one month supply using my insurance. Thanks Dee for calling and letting me know my options!

Great Pharmacy. If your insurance company will not pay, you can get medications. A lot cheaper.

Check out this mail in pharmacy. My cardiologist referred me to them for best price on cholesterol lowering med. I found them to be helpful, professional and provide prompt service.

As soon as my doctor submitted the prescription, I was contacted by Terri, who explained the process and set up delivery to my home. It could not have been easier!

Fluorouracil Cream Commonly Asked Questions

<div style="border-left: 5px solid #fee203;  padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 40px; font-family: 'montserratlight', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 160%;">

<p>Have you ever asked your pharmacist what the cash-price is for your medication?<br>
Probably not, but you should!<br>
Most of our patients are shocked when they learn how much they can save by paying cash for their medications, rather than using the traditional route of applying their insurance and paying what they felt was a ‘small copay’.</p>

</div>

<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">What does it mean to pay cash for your prescriptions?</h3>

<p>Paying cash for your prescriptions means that you are paying for your medications <span style="font-family: 'montserrat', sans-serif;"> without using any insurance.</span>  The cost associated with this price includes the cost for the pharmacy to acquire the medication at a wholesaler, pharmacy dispensing fees, and an arbitrary mark-up for the pharmacy to make money. That mark-up is usually pharmacy dependent.</p>


<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">Why is the cash-price different than the insurance-price?</h3>

<p><strong>General Assumption</strong>: One would think using insurance should always be less than paying cash.<br>

In reality, the cash-price and insurance-price are two separate things.<br>

The <span style="font-family: 'montserrat', sans-serif;"> insurance price</span>, the price you pay for medications using your insurance at the pharmacy is decided by your insurance company and the <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/congressman-comer-investigates-pbms-and-rising-healthcare-costs-inside-view-from-a-pharmacy-and-drug-manufacturer">pharmacy benefit manger (PBM)</a> they hired to negotiate a “better price” for you.</p>

<div style="border-left: 5px solid #fee203;  padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 40px; font-family: 'montserratlight', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 160%;"><strong>Did you know?</strong> The pharmacy has no say in the price when you use insurance.</div>

<p><span style="font-family: 'montserrat', sans-serif;">Reason for the price discrepancy: </span>While we as a pharmacy can purchase the medication for next to nothing, your insurance company and their PBM may have negotiated a different price and then marked it up a bit to make some money for their services.</p>

<p>We as a pharmacy have to offer that price to you based on what they negotiated and decided on, even if we can offer it to you for less!</p>

<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">Why haven’t I heard about this better offer?</h3>

<p><strong>Gag clauses </strong>have prevented pharmacists from telling you about a better deal.</p>

<p>You may not have heard that paying cash can often be cheaper that using insurance, and that’s likely because of <span style="font-family: 'montserrat', sans-serif; color:#333333;">unethical laws</span> that currently exist preventing pharmacists from telling you about a better deal.</p>

<p>There are gag clause contracts with pharmacies and PBMs that prevent pharmacists from telling patients about affordable alternatives.</p>

<p>Some good news though, on October 10, 2018, <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: 600;">Bill S.2553, Know the Lower Price Act</span> was instated <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: 600;">which allows pharmacists to inform patients under Medicare or Medicare Advantages plans of lower-price cash options</span>.</p>

<div style="margin: 30px 15px 30px 15px; background-color: #fee203; padding: 20px; font-family: 'montserratlight', sans-serif; line-height: 160%;">This bill prohibits a prescription drug plan under Medicare or Medicare Advantage from restricting a pharmacy from informing an enrollee of any difference between the price, co-payment, or co-insurance of a drug under the plan and a lower price of the drug without health-insurance coverage (such restrictions are commonly referred to as gag clauses).</div>

<p>While many laws still need to be changed to prevent these unethical practices, this new bill is a great step in the right direction to provide price transparency for patients.</p>



<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">How can it be more affordable to pay for prescriptions without insurance?</h3>

<p>Paying for your prescriptions with insurance can cost more because it requires more steps to get your medications through the <a style="color: #222222; text-decoration: none; border-bottom:.125em solid #5ba2b6;" href="#" target="_blank" rel="noopener">supply chain</a>.</p>


<div style="border-left: 5px solid #fee203; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 40px; font-family: 'montserratlight', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 160%;"><strong>Did you know?</strong> When you use your insurance, there is an extra player involved: the PBM middlemen, who are paid by your insurance company to negotiate better pricing with drug manufacturers.</div>

<img src="https://marley-storage.imgix.net/0092b4de-f216-453f-9522-6e2cef93c920/bl-cashprice-steps-3.png" alt="Cash price vs copay" width="100%" height="auto">
<br><br>

<p>Built into these overcomplicated negotiations are administrative fees as well as unethical pricing strategies, termed <u><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/how-spread-pricing-increases-prices-of-generic-drugs">spread pricing</a></u>, which can profusely inflate the cost of medications.</p>

<div style="border-left: 5px solid #fee203;  padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 40px; font-family: 'montserratlight', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 160%;">According to a recent analysis by Kaiser Health News, the price of medications when using health insurance can add costs of up to $30 per prescription.</div>

<p>These PBM and insurance company middlemen have been getting away with this unethical practice for decades and ultimately costing both employers and patients hundreds of millions more for the cost of generic medications.</p>

<p>In recent years, some states have introduced new laws to fight high drug prices and restrict practices that are costing taxpayers hundreds of millions every year.</p>

<p>Paying the cash price for your prescription means you can bypass the additional fees and middlemen which cause price inflation when you pay with insurance.</p>


<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">Don’t assume your insurance is saving you money</h3>

<p>$10 per month is the national average copay for generic medications.</p>

<p><strong>The Assumption: </strong>The assumption we all make is that our insurance copay is a good deal for us. With an average $10 copay, one would assume the medication costs a lot more than $10, especially since your insurance is also paying for some of it.</p>

<p><strong>The Reality: </strong>The reality is that most generic medications cost next to nothing for pharmacies to buy. That $10 copay you are paying is extremely inflated and you and your insurance provider are overpaying for your medications. In fact, using your insurance may be costing you more.</p>



<div style="border-left: 5px solid #fee203; padding-left: 15px; padding-right: 15px; margin-bottom: 40px; margin-top: 40px; font-family: 'montserratlight', sans-serif; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 160%;">Millions of Americans skip doses or stop taking their prescription because of the cost&mdash;the medications you need should always be affordable</div>
&nbsp;

<h3 style="font-size: 1.5em; font-family: 'montserratbold', sans-serif; color: #222222;">Real Life Example&mdash;How paying with insurance costs you more</h3>

<p>Many of our customers are often shocked to learn that paying cash is often less expensive than using insurance.</p>



<div style="padding: 20px 5%; font-size: 1em; line-height:170%; font-weight:400; color:#ffffff; border:solid .25em #5ba2b6; background-color:#5ba2b6; margin-bottom:30px;">

<h4>Here’s a real-life example:</h4>

<p>Janice has a prescription for rosuvastatin (generic Crestor<sup>®</sup>) and wants to find the best savings for her medication. When Janice uses her insurance, she pays a copay of $10.00 a month. She assumes this is a good deal for her because the price she sees at the pharmacy, the price the PBM “negotiated” for her is $80 a month and Janice’s insurance covers $70 of the prescription giving her an 87.5% savings.</p>

<p>If Janice had asked for the cash price, she would be shocked to learn that her same rosuvastatin prescription is available at the cash price for less than her $10 copay.</p>

<p>At Marley Drug, Janice could get rosuvastatin (generic Crestor<sup>®</sup>) for $6.17 per month with a 6-month supply (38% less than a $10 copay) or $5.83 per month with a 12-month supply (41% less than a $10 copay.) That’s because it’s on a list of over 100 generic medications that we offer on <a style="color:#ffffff; text-decoration: none; border-bottom:0.125em solid #fee203; " href="https://www.marleydrug.com/wholesale-price-list" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marley Drug's Wholesale Price List</a>. </strong></p>

</div>


<p>An important point not to be overlooked; Janice’s insurance plan is also paying a lot of money for this medication&mdash;$70/month! That’s an additional $840/year of healthcare costs on top of the extra $50 Janice is paying compared to our price.</p>

<p>What may seem like a low copay that is beneficial for patients is actually riddled with hidden fees by unethical middlemen. This ultimately drives up the cost of healthcare and increases the costs you and/or your employer pay for your health plan.</p>

<p>Whether you have a high copay, or a <a style="color: #222222; text-decoration: none; border-bottom:.125em solid #5ba2b6;" href="https://www.marleydrug.com/never-going-to-pay-through-your-high-deductible-save-money-by-paying-cash-at-marley-drug/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">high deductible</a>, our savings programs at Marley Drug often save you money!</p>

How Paying Cash for Your Prescriptions Can Cost Less Than Your Copay

<p><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/psoriasis">Psoriasis</a> and <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/corticosteroid">eczema</a> are two common skin conditions that cause significant discomfort due to red, itchy, and inflamed skin patches. Although both conditions are chronic and share symptoms like inflammation, they are distinctly different diseases. Determining whether you have psoriasis or eczema is crucial for managing the condition effectively, as each requires a different approach to treatment.</p>
	
	
	
	<h2>Prevalence and Age of Onset</h2>
	
	<p>Psoriasis generally appear later in life between 15 and 30 where as eczema often begins in infancy or early childhood</p>
	
	<h5><strong>Psoriasis</strong></h5>
	
	<p>Psoriasis is a relatively common skin condition affecting about 2-3% of the U.S. population. It typically manifests in early adulthood, with the most common <strong>onset age ranging between 15 and 35 years</strong>. This condition affects both men and women equally and can vary in severity.</p>
	
	<h5><strong>Eczema</strong></h5>
	
	<p>Eczema affects approximately 10-20% of infants and about 3% of adults and children in the U.S. Eczema is one of the most frequent skin conditions, among younger populations. <strong>Many individuals experience their first symptoms before the age of 5</strong>, although it can also first appear during adolescence or adulthood. While some children may outgrow eczema, others continue to experience symptoms into adulthood.</p>
	
	
	<h2>Causes</h2>
	
	<h5><strong>Psoriasis</strong></h5>
	
	<p>Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the rapid overproduction of skin cells, resulting in thick, scaly patches. Genetics play a crucial role in the development of psoriasis, and it can be triggered or worsened by stress, infections, and physical injuries to the skin.</p>
	
	<h5><strong>Eczema</strong></h5>
	
	<p>Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, involves a complex interaction of genetics, environmental factors, and immune system. It is commonly found in individuals with a family history of eczema, allergies, or asthma. The exact cause of eczema is still not fully understood, and unlike psoriasis, it primarily affects the skin’s barrier function, leading to inflammation and irritation.</p>
	
	<p>Psoriasis is clearly defined as an autoimmune condition whereas eczema is more often associated with immune system dysregulation and environmental factors. Both conditions reflect an underlying issue with immune system functioning but differ in their specific pathological processes and triggers.</p>
	
	<h2>Triggers</h2>
	
	<p>While both conditions can be triggered by stress and environmental factors, psoriasis is more closely linked to immune system responses and physical impacts on the skin, whereas eczema is more frequently connected to allergens and direct skin irritants.</p>
	
	<h5><strong>Psoriasis</strong></h5>
	
	<ul>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:0px;"><strong>Infections: </strong>Particularly streptococcal throat infections can trigger guttate psoriasis</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Stress: </strong>High stress levels can initiate or worsen psoriasis flare-ups</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Medications: </strong>Certain medications, including beta-blockers and lithium, can trigger psoriasis</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Injury to the skin: </strong>Cuts, scrapes, or sunburn can prompt the formation of psoriatic skin lesions</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Alcohol and Smoking: </strong>Both can increase psoriasis severity</li>
		
	</ul>
	
	
	<h5><strong>Eczema</strong></h5>

	<ul>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:0px;"><strong>Allergens: </strong>Pollen, dust mites, pet dander, mold </li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Irritants: </strong>Soaps, detergents, shampoos, disinfectants </li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Foods: </strong>Certain foods may trigger eczema in some people, especially those with food allergies</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Fabrics: </strong>Rough materials, such as wool or synthetic fibers, can irritate the skin </li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Temperature and Humidity: </strong>Extremes in weather and low humidity levels can lead to skin dryness and trigger eczema</li>
		
	</ul>


	
	<h2>Signs and Symptoms</h2>
	
	<p>Both psoriasis and eczema can cause significant discomfort and may have similar symptoms like redness and itching. However, the nature of the lesions differs: dry and scaly for psoriasis versus moist and weepy for eczema. </p>
	
	<h5><strong>Psoriasis</strong></h5>
		
	<p>Psoriasis is characterized by the thick, red patches of skin covered with silvery scales. These patches, known as plaques, can appear on various parts of the body, including the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. These plaques are typically well-defined and dry, and they can be both itchy and painful. Unlike eczema, psoriasis is less likely to cause oozing or weeping lesions, and the scales are usually silvery-white.</p>
	
	<h5><strong>Eczema</strong></h5>
		
	<p>Eczema causes red, inflamed skin that can intensely itch and lead to the formation of small, fluid-filled blisters. These blisters may weep when scratched or broken. Eczema commonly affects the folds of the skin, such as behind the knees and inside the elbows, but can also appear on the face, neck, and hands. The skin may become scaly, and excessive scratching can lead to open sores and increased risk of infection.</p>
	
	
	<h2>Treatments</h2>
	
	<h5><strong>Psoriasis</strong></h5>
	
	<p>Treatments aim to reduce inflammation, slow the rapid growth of skin cells, and remove scales. Effective management also seeks to minimize potential triggers to prevent or reduce the frequency of flare-ups.</p>
	
	<ul>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>Topical Treatments: </strong>Corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, and retinoids are applied directly to the skin to reduce inflammation and slow down cell turnover </li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>Phototherapy: </strong>Exposure to ultraviolet light, under medical supervision, can effectively slow skin cell growth and reduce scaling and inflammation </li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>Systemic Medications: </strong>For moderate to severe psoriasis, doctors may prescribe oral or injected medications that work throughout the body. These include methotrexate, cyclosporine, and biologics, which target specific parts of the immune system that drive inflammation</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Lifestyle Modifications: </strong>Patients are often advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoidance of known triggers such as stress and smoking</li>
		
	</ul>
	
	<h5><strong>Eczema</strong></h5>
	
	<p>Eczema treatments focus on hydrating the skin, reducing inflammation, and alleviating itching to prevent the cycle of skin irritation and damage through scratching. The main objective is to maintain skin barrier function, reduce exposure to irritants, and manage symptoms to enhance comfort and prevent infections.</p>
	
	<ul>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>Moisturizers: </strong>Applying moisturizers daily is crucial to keep the skin hydrated and to repair the skin barrier</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>Topical Steroids: </strong>These are used to reduce swelling, redness, and itchiness during flare-ups </li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:20px;"><strong>Antihistamines: </strong>These can help control itching, especially at night</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Topical Calcineurin Inhibitors: </strong>Patients are often advised to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which includes a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoidance of known triggers such as stress and smoking</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Phototherapy: </strong>Like psoriasis, light therapy can be used to treat severe cases of eczema that do not respond to other treatments</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:00px;"><strong>Immunosuppressants: </strong>In severe cases, medications that suppress the immune system might be considered to control symptoms</li>
		
	</ul>
	
	<p>While both conditions utilize similar strategies such as topical treatments and phototherapy, psoriasis treatments often involve systemic medications that target specific immune responses due to its autoimmune nature. Eczema treatments, on the other hand, heavily emphasize skin care routines to protect and restore the skin barrier, alongside managing environmental and lifestyle factors that might trigger symptoms.</p>

Psoriasis and eczema are two common skin conditions that cause significant discomfort due to red, itchy, and inflamed skin patches. Although both conditions are chronic and share symptoms like inflammation, they are distinctly different diseases. Determining whether you have psoriasis or eczema is crucial for managing the condition effectively, as each requires a different approach to treatment.

Psoriasis vs. Eczema: What's Causing My Itch?

<p><a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/fluorouracil-cream">Fluorouracil cream</a> is a topical medication commonly used in dermatology to treat specific skin conditions that are associated with cancer. This cream is an FDA-approved treatment primarily used for addressing superficial basal cell carcinoma (SBCC) and actinic keratoses. </p>
	
	<ul>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:30px;"><strong>Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma (SBCC): </strong>
<br>
<img src="https://marley-files.imgix.net/cbc635c3-2114-4666-82a6-b878d31ffeab/SuperficialBasalCellCarcinoma_.png" alt="Superficial Basal Cell Carcinoma" width="200" height="auto" style="display:block; max-width:50%;">
SBCC is a common type of skin cancer usually caused by sun damage. It grows slowly and rarely spreads to other parts of the body. The main concern with SBCC is its appearance, typically presenting as pink, scaly patches on the skin. Fluorouracil cream is used for treating SBCC when other more conventional treatments are impractical or have been tried without success.</li>

		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:30px;"><strong>Actinic Keratoses (Premalignant Keratosis): </strong>
<br>
<img src="https://marley-files.imgix.net/cbc635c3-2114-4666-82a6-b878d31ffeab/ActinicKeratoses_.png" alt="Actinic Keratoses" width="200" height="auto" style="display:block; max-width:50%;"><br>
Actinic keratosis is a skin condition that also results from sun damage. It is considered "precancerous" because if left untreated, it has the potential to develop into cancer. This condition appears as rough, scaly bumps on the skin.</li>
	</ul>
	
	<p>Fluorouracil cream is particularly beneficial for patients where traditional surgical interventions are either impractical or have previously failed. It offers a non-invasive treatment alternative, applied directly to the skin, focusing on areas damaged by excessive sun exposure which are at high risk of developing into skin cancer.</p>	


	<h2>How Does Fluorouracil Cream Work?</h2>
	
	<p>Fluorouracil cream is a targeted topical treatment that is applied directly to affected areas of the skin. Typically, the cream is used once daily over a course of four weeks. <strong>It works by selectively destroying abnormal or "bad" skin cells that contribute to conditions like superficial basal cell carcinoma (SBCC) and actinic keratoses.</strong> By eliminating these cells, the cream prevents further growth and potential progression of these skin issues. The treatment is designed to manage and remove patches of SBCC or actinic keratosis before they can develop further or spread, providing a non-invasive approach to controlling precancerous and cancerous skin conditions.</p>
	
	
	
	<h2>Side Effects</h2>
	
	<p>Fluorouracil cream, while effective in treating certain skin conditions, can also cause a range of side effects due to its action on cellular growth. As the cream works to stop the proliferation of abnormal skin cells, it can also affect the surrounding healthy skin, leading to irritation and damage. Common side effects from regular application include:</p>

	<ul>
		
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:0px;">Redness</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:0px;">Dryness</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:0px;">Crusting</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:0px;">Stinging</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:0px;">Sores</li>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:0px;">Burning</li>
	</ul>
	
	
	<p>If any of these side effects become particularly troublesome or severe, it is crucial to consult your healthcare provider for advice and potential adjustments to your treatment plan.</p>
	
	
	<h2>Who Should Not Use Fluorouracil Cream</h2>
	
	<p>Fluorouracil cream, while beneficial for treating certain skin conditions, is not suitable for everyone due to the potential risks and side effects it carries in specific populations. Individuals who should avoid using this cream include: </p>
	

	
	<ul>
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:30px;"><strong>People with DPD Deficiency: </strong>Individuals lacking dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), an enzyme, should avoid using fluorouracil cream. There have been instances of life-threatening toxicity in such individuals due to their body's inability to properly break down the medication. Symptoms of toxicity can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and chills. Immediate medical consultation is advised if these symptoms occur.</li>
		
		<li style="line-height:1.6; margin-bottom:30px;"><strong>Pregnant or Breastfeeding Individuals:  </strong>The use of fluorouracil cream is not recommended for pregnant individuals due to its association with birth defects. The risks associated with its use during breastfeeding are not well documented but should be considered carefully against the potential benefits.</li>
	</ul>
	
	<p>Additionally, it is crucial to limit sun exposure while using fluorouracil cream as it may increase skin sensitivity and damage. If you are unsure about the suitability of fluorouracil cream for your condition, consult your healthcare provider to ensure it is safe and appropriate for your use.</p>
	
	<h2>The Cost of Fluorouracil Cream</h2>
	
	<p>The average retail price for a 40-gram tube of 5% fluorouracil cream varies significantly depending on the pharmacy and location. Generally, it ranges from about $90 to $294 without insurance. However, at Marley Drug you can get this same 40-gram tube of fluorouracil for only $54. </p>
	
	<p>Our ability to offer this competitive price stems from bypassing insurance middlemen. Typically, insurance companies work with drug wholesalers to negotiate drug prices, which can often result in <a href="https://www.marleydrug.com/blog/how-spread-pricing-increases-prices-of-generic-drugs">higher costs for consumers</a>. By eliminating these intermediaries and sourcing directly from wholesalers, Marley Drug is able to offer prices that are competitive with those available through insurance. </p>
