Aziderm 10% Cream

Uses of medication: Azelaic acid cream is indicated for the topical treatment of the mild-to-moderate acne, both comedonal acne and inflammatory acne. Azelaic acid is also recommended as a topical gel treatment for the rosacea, due to its ability in order to reduce the inflammation. Azelaic acid is also useful in the treatment of skin pigmentation including melasma and postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, specifically in those who are with darker skin types. Azelaic also can be recommended as an alternative to hydroquinone. In the form of a tyrosinase inhibitor, this drug reduces the synthesis of the melanin.

Dosage: Once the skin thoroughly washed and patted dry, azelaic acid cream should be very gently but thoroughly massaged twice daily, in the morning and evening into the affected areas. The hands must be properly washed after the application. The duration of the use of azelaic acid may vary from person to person and depends on the severity of the acne.
