Clincy-N Gel 20gm

Uses of Clincy-N Gel

• Treats Acne

How does Clincy-N Gel work?

Clincy-N Gel is a combination of two medicines: Clindamycin and Nicotinamide, which treat pimples (acne). Clindamycin is an antibiotic that works by penetrating into the skin and killing acne-causing bacteria. Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B. It exerts anti-inflammatory effects when applied to the skin and reduces swelling, redness, and tenderness associated with acne.

Quick Suggestions:

• You have been prescribed Clincy-N Gel for the treatment of acne.
• You may have to use it for a long time before your acne starts to improve. Be patient and keep using it every day.
• Wash your skin with a mild cleanser and pat it dry before applying Clincy-N Gel.
• Apply it as a thin layer onto clean, dry, unbroken skin affected by acne.
• It may cause minor burning, stinging, or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away.
• Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas.
• If you think the area of skin you are treating has become more irritated and infected, you should stop using Clincy-N Gel and consult your doctor.
