WHAT AMELUZ IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Ameluz contains the active substance 5-aminolaevulinic acid. It is
used to TREAT:
•
slightly palpable to moderately thick
ACTINIC KERATOSES
or entire fields affected by actinic
keratoses in adults. Actinic keratoses are certain changes in the
outer layer of the skin that can
lead to skin cancer.
•
superficial and/or nodular
BASAL CELL CARCINOMA
unsuitable for surgical treatment due to
possible treatment-related morbidity and/or poor cosmetic outcome in
adults. Basal cell
carcinoma is a skin cancer that can cause reddish, scaly patches or
one or several small bumps
that bleed easily and do not heal.
After application, the active substance of Ameluz becomes a
photoactive substance which accumulates
in affected cells. Illumination with appropriate light produces
reactive oxygen-containing molecules
which act against the target cells. This therapy is known as
photodynamic therapy (PDT).
