Zelsuvmi is indicated for the treatment of molluscum contagiosum in adults and pediatric patients. This condition causes raised, pearl-like bumps (papules) on the skin due to a poxvirus infection, commonly affecting children and immunocompromised individuals.
Zelsuvmi contains berdolimab, a monoclonal antibody that targets the molluscum contagiosum virus (MCV). The exact mechanism involves binding to the virus to help eliminate infected cells and promote clearance of the lesions.
Zelsuvmi is administered as an in-office topical treatment by a healthcare professional. Common side effects may include application site reactions. Patients should follow their healthcare provider's instructions for care during treatment. The medication is typically applied in a clinical setting rather than self-administered at home.
