What you will receive

Azelex is the originator brand name, made by Almirall. We use it here to identify the medicine only; we are not affiliated with Almirall and do not ship the original Azelex.

  • You receive a generic equivalent: the same active ingredient (Azelaic acid) at the same dose, mostly recognised Indian branded generics from vetted manufacturers.
  • The exact brand supplied depends on what is in stock at the dispatching warehouse.
  • A regulated generic matches the original ingredient for ingredient by legal standard.
