ZELSUVMI (berdazimer sodium)

First-in-Class
Dermatology Approved 2024-01-05

Zelsuvmi is a topical medication used for molluscum contagiosum in both adults and children at least one year old. It helps patients manage this viral skin condition through a specialized delivery system applied directly to the skin. This treatment provides a therapeutic option for addressing the lesions associated with the infection across a wide age range.

How ZELSUVMI Works

Zelsuvmi works by acting as a nitric oxide releasing agent. While it is known to release nitric oxide upon application, the specific process by which this action clears molluscum contagiosum is currently unknown.
