Clinacin T Gel

Clinacin T Gel contains Clindamycin, an antibiotic medication used topically to treat acne vulgaris. Clindamycin works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the skin, thereby reducing inflammation and preventing the formation of acne lesions.

Uses:

Clinacin T Gel is indicated for the treatment of acne vulgaris, a common skin condition characterized by the presence of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. It is effective in reducing the number of acne lesions and improving the overall appearance of the skin.

How to Use:

• Wash your hands and the affected area with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
• Apply a thin layer of Clinacin T Gel to the affected areas of the skin, avoiding contact with the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.
• Gently massage the gel into the skin until it is absorbed.
• Use Clinacin T Gel as directed by your healthcare provider, usually once or twice daily.
• Do not apply the gel to broken or irritated skin unless directed by your doctor.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of Clinacin T Gel may include:

• Skin dryness
• Peeling or flaking of the skin
• Redness or irritation at the application site
• Itching or burning sensation

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, discontinue use of the gel and consult your doctor.

Precautions:

• Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes when applying Clinacin T Gel.
• Do not apply the gel to areas of broken, irritated, or sunburned skin.
• Use sunscreen and protective clothing when exposed to sunlight, as Clindamycin may increase the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight.
• Inform your doctor if you have a history of gastrointestinal diseases or inflammatory bowel disease, as topical Clindamycin may be absorbed into the bloodstream and cause systemic side effects.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:

Consult your doctor before using Clinacin T Gel if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. The safety of Clindamycin during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been established.
