✔️ How does Adaclin Gel work?

Clindamycin is an antibiotic agent which is widely used for treating various bacterial infections of the skin. It inhibits the growth and multiplication of acne-causing bacteria.

Nicotinamide acts as an anti-inflammatory agent and reduces the swelling and redness associated with acne. It also regulates the amount of acne-causing oil produced by the oil glands in your skin and helps lighten the marks due to pimples, acne, and other skin problems.

✔️ Indication of Adaclin Gel

Clindamycin+Nicotinamide is effectively used in the treatment of bacterial infection and inflammation of the skin such as acne, pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads.

✔️ Pharmacology

Adaclin Gel is a combination medication consisting of Clindamycin and Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3). Clindamycin is a bacteriostatic antibiotic that effectively treats acne and bacterial infections. It is suitable for various skin types, including both dry and oily skin. When applied topically, Clindamycin combats acne by eliminating the bacteria responsible for its development, and it also helps prevent further bacterial skin infections.

Nicotinamide, a synthetic form of Vitamin B3, plays a significant role in skin health. It promotes the synthesis of ceramides, which are lipids found in the outermost layer of the skin. This action enhances the skin's ability to maintain moisture and strengthens the barrier function of the epidermis. As a result, the skin appears more supple and soft, contributing to its overall health and well-being. This combination of ingredients in Clindamycin+Nicotinamide offers a comprehensive approach to treating skin conditions and promoting skin vitality.

• Apply it to the skin surface that is free from cuts, wounds, and injuries.
• Avoid direct contact of the gel container's tip with the infected area of the skin.
• Remember to wash your hands both before and after applying this medicine.
• If the gel accidentally comes into contact with your eyes, rinse your eyes with clean water immediately to prevent any adverse effects.

Avoid using this medication if your skin is highly sensitive or if you have a known allergy to Clindamycin+Nicotinamide or any lincomycin-class antibiotics. Refrain from applying Clindamycin+Nicotinamide on areas of the skin that are cut, scraped, sunburned, or affected by eczema.

In case Clindamycin+Nicotinamide comes into contact with your eyes, promptly rinse your eyes with plenty of water and consult your doctor if the irritation persists. If your skin condition does not improve, inform your doctor, as Clindamycin+Nicotinamide may take time to treat acne.

Pregnant women, those planning to become pregnant, or nursing mothers should consult their doctors before using Clindamycin+Nicotinamide. Using other dermatological products alongside Clindamycin+Nicotinamide may lead to unfavorable outcomes, such as excessive skin drying, peeling, or irritation. In such cases, consult your doctor to determine the appropriate course of action for treating acne.
