Azelite Cream belongs to the class of 'anti-acne medication', primarily used to treat acne (pimples) and rosacea (redness and visible blood vessels on the face). Azelite Cream has antibacterial, keratolytic (removes warts, calluses and other lesions), comedolytic (inhibits the formation of blemishes), and anti-oxidant activity. It is used to clear bumps, lesions, and swelling 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.
Azelite Cream contains 'Azelaic acid,' which is a bactericidal (kills bacteria) agent. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of microbial cellular proteins. Azelite Cream clears the pores of bacteria that cause irritation and breakouts. It reduces inflammation making acne less visible, less red, and less irritated. Azelite Cream also helps the skin renew itself and reduces pimple and blackhead formation.
Azelite Cream is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, rinse with water immediately. Common side effects of Azelite Cream include dryness, peeling, burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor’s advice.
Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Azelite Cream or its components that may cause skin irritation. Azelite Cream can make the skin change colour, especially when the skin is dark in colour. Please limit the use of products that contain large amounts of alcohol (astringents, shaving creams or after-shave lotions), hair removal products, and products containing lime or spices while using Azelite Cream. Keep Azelite Cream away from flames and extreme heat. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or a breastfeeding mother.
