Ointment (carac) cream 0.5%

Hello Mr. Know-it-all.
Carac... Fluorouracil cream 0.5%
Was shipped U.P.S. from Colorado to Florida, In the last week of 2007.
It may have been frozen in transport. (I don't know)
Is it still safe to use.

Thank you....Billy

You can check their website below as I did but there is no indication at all saying what happens if frozen. What gives you the impression it is was frozen. Is the actual material separated in any way or curdled? I would suggest you call them to see if it makes any difference to the application of the topical cream. Is there not a closer souce of this medication that you can access?

Carac - fluorourcil cream 0.5%
below is an excerpt from this site.
Storage information

Keep this medicine at room temperature (68-77°F/ 20-25° C). Throw away unused medicine. Keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

popccleI workor a company that picks up air freight and ground freight. Normally medications tat have certain requirements have it labeled on the box. We will also receive that information on the fax to insure that temp requirements are met inroute or if we have to store it. If you believe this has not been met you need to contact the company that shipped it. *edit* We also receive freight/packages that are pre-packed to keep the required temp.
