Action, efficiency

The medicine has anti-inflammatory properties, and its action is carried out due to the presence of azelaic acid. The action of the drug is based on the ability of the main component to normalize the work of the sebaceous glands and prevent the growth of microbes on the skin. This helps to prevent the spread of acne to large areas, as well as the aggravation of the manifestations as a result of the addition of infection.

The drug has other properties that make it effective in the treatment of certain abnormalities:

• The component in the composition of the drug has cytostatic properties, that is, it helps prevent pathological cell division and the progression of diseases.
• Additionally, the drug has an anti-inflammatory effect on the tissues. With the progression of acne, inflammation almost always develops, which only worsens the condition of the skin and leads to other complications.
• The medication, when applied externally, blocks the production of components that support the inflammatory process. As a result of re-development, this complication does not occur.
• The action of the cream also extends to melanocytes, which, against the background of various anomalies, provoke skin pigmentation in atypical areas. As a result of its application, the spread of the pigmentation site to healthy tissues stops.

The medicine does not provoke addiction, even with prolonged use in the case of a chronic course of a pathological condition. This is considered an advantage over other drugs that can lead to addiction, weakening the therapeutic effect.

Aziks-Derm, when applied externally, does not accumulate in the patient's tissues and blood. The cream, the price of which is high, can enter the systemic circulation in small quantities. A small part of azelaic acid is found in the blood with prolonged use, when the patient has a severe or chronic course of the disorder.

The effect of using the product appears within 3-7 days after the start of the course. At the initial stage, the symptoms of inflammation disappear, after which there is a gradual decrease in the lesions. Long courses are often required to obtain a pronounced therapeutic effect.

Long-term use can lead to an increase in the concentration of the main ingredient in the blood, but this does not affect the functioning of the internal organs. Violation of the integrity of the skin in the affected area leads to a more intensive absorption of components into the blood.

The processing of ingredients is carried out in the patient's liver, after which a small amount of metabolites is evacuated by the kidneys. Disruption of the liver and urinary system can lead to a deterioration in the processing and evacuation of ingredients from the body. This usually does not provoke an overdose or other complications if the drug is used according to the scheme, following all the doctor's recommendations.

Indications and contraindications for use

A medication in the form of a cream is indicated for the diagnosis of certain dermatological pathologies that are less common than other skin diseases:

• Acne at various stages. The medicine is considered effective in the mild and severe course of the pathological condition, as well as in the presence of complications.
• Hyperpigmentation due to improper distribution of the melanin pigment in the skin. The tool can be used as part of a complex treatment or as the only method if external symptoms appear in a mild form.
• Melasma at various stages of development.
• Rosacea. In this case, the drug is used as part of a comprehensive treatment, since it does not help to completely eliminate the symptoms.

Damage area	Frequent negative reactions
Nervous system	Disorders from the nervous system are manifested against the background of an allergic reaction. Typically, patients develop external symptoms, after which they note nervousness, increased irritability and sleep disturbance. Sometimes patients talk about headaches, dizziness, and other symptoms.
Digestive organs	Digestive disorders are observed in patients who suffer from chronic diseases of the digestive system. Some talk about nausea, bouts of vomiting and pain in the abdomen. Diarrhea is sometimes noted, in which the patient loses a large amount of fluid.
Skin	Allergy to the drug manifests itself in an acute or subacute form, which depends on the individual patient. A rash, irritation, peeling appears on the skin of the body and limbs. Patients talk about severe itching, which makes them scratch the affected area, damaging the skin, increasing the risk of infection.
Mucous membranes	From the side of the mucous membranes, symptoms appear with the progression of the allergy. Swelling of the mucous membranes of the eyes, mouth and nasal passages aggravates the general condition. Often, patients are worried about lacrimation and allergic rhinitis.

Negative reactions are considered a reason for refusing to use the cream and visiting a doctor. Cases of overdose with the drug have not been recorded, but experts do not exclude such a possibility.

Method of administration and dosage

Azix-Derm is a cream (the price of the product is justified by its effectiveness), applied only externally after a specialist examination and exclusion of possible contraindications. For different diseases, the medicine can be used according to different schemes.

The standard method of therapy involves the use of a small amount of cream 2 times a day. The duration of use is determined individually for each patient.

With acne

The first result after applying the cream is noted after about 7 days, but a noticeable effect can be seen only after 4 weeks of regular use. The duration of therapy for acne is on average 3 months, but on an individual basis it can be adjusted by a doctor.

The affected areas are treated pointwise, that is, the cream is applied only to the lesions with a cotton swab in a minimum amount. It can be applied to the face, upper back and chest if acne spreads to these areas. When using, avoid getting the cream on the eyes, mouth, and nasal passages. If the therapeutic result is noted earlier, it is allowed to refuse to use the medicine, but the doctor makes the decision.

In case of a mild course of the pathological condition, it is allowed to carry out the treatment once a day. If the condition of the skin is severe, the treatment is carried out 2 times a day. You must first cleanse your skin with warm water and a product suitable for your skin type.

With melasma

When diagnosing such a violation, it is necessary to apply the medicine for 3 months. Treatment of the skin in the affected area is carried out 2 times a day. It is imperative to pre-clean the treated areas and dry with a soft towel.

During the period of treatment, a prerequisite is the use of sunscreens that prevent the re-formation of lesions. The lack of a pronounced effect for 3 months is considered a reason for extending the course. Often, the remedy is used for 4-5 months.

Correction of the duration of the course is carried out only by a doctor after a preliminary examination of the affected areas. The patient alone cannot increase the dose or the duration of therapeutic use.

With hyperpigmentation

If there are age spots on the body, the product can be used in relatively short courses of 1-2 months. Usually, skin treatment is carried out once a day, but if necessary, it is allowed to apply the cream in the morning and in the evening.

When applying, the layer of the product should be thin, it is important to avoid contact with mucous membranes. As with melasma therapy, sunscreen should be used during the treatment of hyperpigmentation to prevent worsening of symptoms or re-emergence of spots. When choosing a product, it is important to take into account the peculiarities of the skin. It is better to give preference to products that do not contain ingredients that often provoke allergies.

Some analogues

Aziks-Derm - cream (the price of the product may become an obstacle for some patients to use), having substitutes that can be used if it is impossible to assign the original drug.

The following drugs are considered the most effective analogues:

• Azelik is available in the form of a gel for external use, which has anti-inflammatory properties, helps to fight dermatological diseases and reduces the risk of their progression. The analogue has the same composition as the original and is considered effective. In some cases, the gel is a more convenient dosage form, as it is quickly absorbed. Like the original medicine, Azelik helps to eliminate inflammation, is prescribed for acne and some forms of skin pigmentation. The duration of the use of the gel depends on the severity of the manifestations, ranges from 1-5 months.
• Skinclear costs somewhat less than the original, contains azelaic acid, due to which the therapeutic effect is realized. The product is produced in the form of a cream for external use. When using the product, pigmentation is eliminated, acne disappears and the condition of the skin improves. The average duration of use of the drug is 3 months, but sometimes 6 weeks is enough to obtain a therapeutic effect. Despite the similar composition, the substitute acts on the skin softer, less often provokes complications from the internal organs.
• Skinoren can also be used as a substitute for the drug when diagnosing acne of varying severity. The drug contains the same active ingredient, therefore it has cytostatic, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. When it is used in short and long courses, the rash and areas of inflammation are eliminated, and the likelihood of reappearance of rashes is reduced. The cost of the analog is almost the same as the price of the original, so the choice is made taking into account the reaction of the skin of a particular patient.

Substitutes can be used in long courses, like the original, but a doctor must select them. When choosing, a specialist takes into account not the cost of the medication, but its effect on the patient's skin. Drugs with the same composition are not always well tolerated by all patients.

Azix-Derm is an effective and relatively safe cream with anti-inflammatory and cytostatic properties. The drug is prescribed for acne and some other dermatological diseases. The price of an external medication is high, but it is justified by its effectiveness. The medication can be used for a long time, it does not often lead to the appearance of systemic negative reactions.
