Azelaic Acid 15%/Niacinamide 5% Topical Gel is a specially compounded formulation designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. Azelaic acid is a dicarboxylic acid that has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, has anti-inflammatory effects on the skin and can improve the skin's barrier function, reduce skin hyperpigmentation, and decrease oil production, making it beneficial for conditions such as acne and rosacea.
While this formulation is generally well-tolerated, there are potential interactions that patients and prescribers should be aware of. Azelaic acid and niacinamide are both active ingredients that can cause skin irritation, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin or those who are using other topical treatments. It is important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications and skin care products you are currently using to avoid potential interactions.
Concurrent use of azelaic acid with other skin treatments such as tretinoin, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide may increase the risk of skin irritation. If you are using any of these treatments, it is recommended to apply them at different times of the day to minimize the risk of irritation. For example, you could apply the azelaic acid/niacinamide gel in the morning and the other treatment at night.
Niacinamide can interact with certain medications when taken orally, but these interactions are less likely with topical use. However, if you are taking medications such as anticonvulsants, antituberculosis drugs, or high doses of vitamin A, it is important to inform your healthcare provider as these can interact with niacinamide.
It is also important to note that while niacinamide is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience a "niacin flush" - a temporary redness and warming of the skin - after application. This is not harmful and usually subsides within an hour. If you experience persistent or severe flushing, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider.
As with any medication, it is important to use this formulation as directed by your healthcare provider. Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If you experience any adverse reactions such as severe redness, burning, stinging, peeling, or unusual dryness of the skin, discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider immediately.
If you have any questions about this formulation or its potential interactions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our knowledgeable team of compounding pharmacists is here to assist you.

Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring acid found in grains like barley, wheat, and rye. It works by helping the skin to renew itself more quickly and therefore reduces pimple and blackhead formation.
