SKINOREN/AZELEX – (Azelaic Acid 20%)
30 gm Tube
Manufactured by Schering
What is it?
This product is a very popular acne and skin treatment. Its active ingredient, Azelaic Acid, is found naturally in wheat, rye and barley. It is effective against several skin conditions and is applied topically to the skin. Azelaic Acid fights against the bacteria that are often present in acne and also combats against blackheads and whiteheads.
How do you apply it?
Cosmetics may be used, but before Skinoren is applied the skin should be thoroughly cleaned with clear water or, if applicable, a mild skin-cleansing agent. Antistringent toiletries should be avoided. Unless otherwise instructed by a doctor, Skinoren should be applied generously to the affected areas twice a day (morning and evening) and rubbed well into the skin. As a guide a daily dose of 2gm (1gm per application) will be sufficient for the treatment of the entire facial area.
What are the side effects?
Local skin irritation (eg reddening or scaling, itching and burning) may occur, usually at the start of treatment, but it usually regresses in the course of treatment. Photosensitivity reactions have been reported.
What precautions should be taken?
Do not use Skinoren if you are allergic to it or propylene glyco. Care must be taken that Skinoren Cream does not come into contact with the eyes. If it does, the eyes should immediately be thoroughly rinsed with copious amounts of water.External use only.
