How long do I wait to eat after fluorouracil treatment?

Hi ,

For your safety, we are unable to offer any medical advice as we are not healthcare professionals. This is an important question to ask the doctor who prescribed the fluorouracil treatment.

We do have an article with a list of tips for Efudex users. If you'd like to read more, you may do so here: https://skincancer.net/life-with-skin-cancer/tips-for-efudex-users/

Please let us know how you're doing and what your doctor says. Sending positive wishes your way!

Hi , you will definitely find a lot of answers in the article that shared, but I think it's safe to say that the answer to your question depends on where you got the treatment. For example, I have applied the cream to hands, arms, chest, legs, and forehead, and it didn't affect my eating, in other words, I ate whenever I wanted. It's another matter if it's around your lips or maybe cheeks, and the article will give you some answers. Good luck! – Ronni, SkinCancer.net Team
