Azelia Cream

Full approved wording

This medicine is used for acne vulgaris (common acne).

How to use

Before applying, wash the affected area with clean water or a mild cleanser and let it dry. Unless a doctor or pharmacist directs otherwise, apply generously to the affected area twice a day (morning and evening) and rub it in well. The length of treatment varies by person and by how severe the acne is, but a clear effect generally appears after about 4 weeks; for the best result, use it regularly for several months. If skin irritation is severe, reduce it to once a day until the irritation subsides, or consult a doctor or pharmacist.

Before you use it

Do not use this medicine if you are hypersensitive to it. Before using it, consult a doctor or pharmacist if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, if the patient is a child under 12, or if you are or have been hypersensitive to propylene glycol. Use it without skipping days during the course of treatment. Do not use occlusive dressings or wraps. For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth and other mucous membranes; if it gets in the eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water. Always wash your hands with water after applying it.
