Haelan is a medication containing the active ingredient aminolevulinic acid, which is used to treat certain skin conditions like actinic keratosis, a type of skin lesion caused by sun exposure. Haelan works by making the affected skin more sensitive to light, allowing targeted destruction of abnormal cells when exposed to a special light source. This treatment is suitable for individuals with actinic keratosis who need localized therapy for their skin condition.
About Haelan
Dosage and usage
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.
What Haelan contains
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.
Side effects
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.
Precautions
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.

An excellent service in these days when it is difficult to get a timely appointment with one's GP in the UK. After filling in the form and answering all the necessary questions to ensure the medication is indeed correct and appropriate, delivery is then very quick.

Absolutely love the simplicity of the questioning but after overriding several times I think that it would be better just to repeat the previous order rather than having to repeat the consultation. Having said that I have been accepted for the medication I wanted and I’m a very happy customer. But I do worry they might say no to me after filling out the consultation form. Because I don’t want to have to stop using the medication so that’s my only worry. Other than that I’m very grateful

Very good
I've twice been a customer of this company and been very satisfied. Be aware the consultation process is specific and probing. It may have been the product I needed but in my case the questions were extensive. This is reassuring in view of the growing hysteria surrounding the practice of buying medicines online, to say nothing of the activities of some fairly dubious forces trying to put a stop to it, though things do move quickly once you're request is approved, with despatch and delivery of a discreetly packaged item taking place within a couple of days more often than not. Frankly I'm glad they're there and with GPs proving ever more intractable because of arbitrary, unexplained and ever more draconian ’clinical guidelines’ I suspect others will be too. A satisfied customer happy to recommend the service.
