    * Results from 2 vehicle-controlled, randomized, double-blind, multicenter studies consisting of 384 adult male and female patients with actinic keratoses. In both studies, treatment with Carac® Cream is compared to treatment with vehicle cream. Outcomes from treatment with vehicle cream are pooled because duration of treatment with vehicle had no substantive effect on clearance.[5]

  • Carac® demonstrated complete AK lesion clearance in up to 4 weeks of treatment, as tolerated[5]

  • Carac® provides complete AK clearance with the added value of once-a-day dosing[5]

    Mean percent reductions in AK lesion counts[6-8]*

    * Percent reduction based on least squares means of integrated results from 2 vehicle-controlled, randomized, double-blind, multicenter studies consisting of 384 adult male and female patients with actinic keratoses.[6-8]

  • Carac® provides >90% reduction in the number of AK lesions after 4 weeks of treatment[6-8]

  • In clinical studies, treatment with Carac® for 1, 2, and 4 weeks resulted in significantly greater lesion reduction than with vehicle (P<0.001)[6-8]

  • Carac® is the only topical 5-FU with the added value of convenient once-a-day dosing
