About this active substance

Ingenol mebutate is a medication used for the treatment of actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin condition caused by chronic sun exposure. It works by inducing the death of abnormal cells and stimulating a local inflammatory response.

The medication is applied topically, in the form of a gel, as directed by a doctor. It is important to avoid sun exposure during treatment.

Side effects may include redness, swelling, pain, or peeling at the application site. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions may occur.

Ingenol mebutate is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to this medication or infected skin lesions.
