Haelan

For optimal results, apply a thin layer of Haelan gel to the affected skin areas once a day as directed by your healthcare provider. Do not exceed the recommended dosage or frequency of application. It is important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully to ensure effective treatment. If you experience any unusual skin reactions or severe discomfort, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider promptly.

Each gram of Haelan gel contains 78 mg of aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride as the active ingredient. The gel also includes excipients such as carbomer 940, disodium edetate, propylene glycol, and trometamol, which serve as solvents and stabilizers to ensure the effectiveness of the medication.

Common side effects of Haelan may include mild skin irritation, redness, or a burning sensation at the application site. However, some individuals may experience more serious side effects such as severe pain, blistering, or swelling. If you develop symptoms of an allergic reaction like rash, itching, or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention. In rare cases, prolonged exposure to light after applying Haelan may cause severe skin reactions.

Do not use Haelan if you are allergic to aminolevulinic acid or any other ingredients in the gel. Avoid applying the gel to open wounds, mucous membranes, or areas close to your eyes. If you have a history of certain skin conditions or are taking photosensitizing medications, consult your healthcare provider before using Haelan to prevent adverse reactions. Keep Haelan out of reach of children and do not use it during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a healthcare professional. If you have a history of certain heart conditions or are on blood thinners, discuss the use of Haelan with your healthcare provider to ensure safe and effective treatment.
