About Aziderm-15% Gel
Aziderm-15% Gel is used to treat red, swollen acne spots (like papules and pustules) and to reduce facial redness and bumps caused by rosacea. Acne is a skin condition caused when the hair follicles are plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It can cause whiteheads, blackheads and pimples. Rosacea is a skin disease that causes redness, flushing, and pimples on the face.
Aziderm-15% Gel contains 'Azelaic acid,' which is a bactericidal (kills bacteria) agent. It is a naturally occurring aliphatic dicarboxylic acid that helps stop the growth of acne-causing bacteria and reduces keratin production, which helps prevent the formation of comedones (clogged pores).
Aziderm-15% Gel is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and nose. If the medicine comes into contact with any of these areas, rinse the area immediately with water. Common side effects of Aziderm-15% Gel include dryness, peeling, burning, irritation, itching and dermatitis. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and may differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor’s advice.
If you are allergic to Aziderm-15% Gel or any other medications, inform your doctor. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it's important to consult your doctor before using Aziderm-15% Gel. Avoid using Aziderm-15% Gel in excessive doses or for prolonged periods, as this may lead to adverse effects. Do not apply Aziderm-15% Gel to open wounds, cuts, scrapes, or damaged skin. Aziderm-15% Gel may make asthma worse. Consult your doctor if your asthma worsens while using Aziderm-15% Gel.
