Azelec

It is indicated for the topical treatment of mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris

Acne Treatment Preparation

Azelaic acid has been shown to possess antimicrobial activity against Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidennidis. The antimicrobial action may be attributable to the inhibition of microbial cellular protein synthesis. A normalization of keratinization leading to an anticomedonal effect of Azelaic acid may also contribute to its clinical activity.

After the skin is thoroughly washed and patted dry, a thin film of Azelaic Acid should be gently but thoroughly massaged into the affected areas twice daily, in the morning and evening. The hands should be washed following application. The duration of use of Azelaic Acid can vary from person to person and depends on the severity of the acne. Improvement of the condition occurs in the majority of patients with inflammatory lesions within four weeks
