Answer to Question 1

Posted another one can you check that one too? Thanks.

Answer to Question 2

Thank you for answering this question.

Answer to Question 3

D
Fluorouracil causes tissue disintegration, erosion, ulceration, and necrosis as part of the normal course of desired effects. Complete healing may take several months, although treatment lasts 2 to 6 weeks. Carac is applied once daily. Severe inflammation is part of the course of treatment and not an indication for discontinuing the medication.
