Adalimumab (Humira)

Immunosuppressant tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-a) inhibitor that binds specifically to TNF and neutralises the biological function of TNF by blocking its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors. It also modulates biological responses that are induced or regulated by TNF, including changes in the levels of adhesion molecules responsible for leukocyte migration (ELAM-1, VCAM-1, and ICAM-1 with an IC50 of 0.1-0.2 nM).

Adalimumab (Yuflyma)

Adalimumab binds specifically to TNF and neutralises the biological function of TNF by blocking its interaction with the p55 and p75 cell surface TNF receptors.

Adapt No-Sting Medical Adhesive Remover

Adhesive remover spray with a silicone-based, alcohol-free formulation that delivers an efficient solution for barrier removal without the sting caused by alcohol.

Adex Gel

Adex Gel

Simple first-line treatment for dry skin prone to inflammation. It is a highly moisturising and protective emollient, which contains an anti-inflammatory medicinal substance, nicotinamide, to help reduce inflammation and redness. Adex Gel does not contain steroids and can be used all over the body for as long as necessary, whether only occasionally, such as during eczema flares

Aklief

Aklief cream contains 50 micrograms (mcg/g) (w/w) trifarotene, which is a chemically stable, terphenyl acid derivative with retinoid-like activity. It is a potent RARγ agonist (retinoid acid receptor γ agonist), characterized by its high specificity to this receptor over RARα & RARβ (50- and 8-fold, respectively, with no Retinoid X Receptor (RXR) activity). In addition, trifarotene modulates retinoid target genes (differentiation and inflammatory processes) in immortalized keratinocytes and reconstructed epidermis.
