✔️ How does Trunac Gel work?

Trunac Gel is a combination of two medicines: Clindamycin and Tretinoin, which treat pimples (acne). Clindamycin is an antibiotic that works by penetrating the skin and killing acne-causing bacteria. Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A that reduces oil production in the skin, replenishes the skin, and helps keep your pores open.

✔️ Quick Suggestions:

• Trunac Gel should be applied as a thin layer onto clean, dry, unbroken skin affected by acne.
• Clean the area to be treated with water and a non-medicated soap, and let it dry for 20-30 minutes before applying the medicine.
• 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.
• Avoid exposure to sunlight while using Trunac Gel as it increases the sensitivity of your skin. Use protective measures such as sun-cream or protective clothing.

✔️ Indication of Trunac Gel

Clindamycin and Tretinoin, which treats pimples (acne). Clindamycin is an antibiotic. Tretinoin is a form of vitamin A

✔️ Pharmacology

• Clindamycin: A lincosamide antibiotic that binds to the 50s ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, preventing peptide chain elongation by interfering with peptidyl transfer. This suppresses bacterial protein synthesis and inhibits the activity of Propionibacterium acnes, reducing acne occurrence.
• Tretinoin: A retinoid that decreases the cohesiveness of follicular epithelial cells and increases cell turnover, bringing comedones out.

✔️ Dosage & Administration of Trunac Gel

• Evening: Wash the face gently with mild soap and water, then pat the skin dry. Apply the gel with fingertips gently over the face.
• Morning: Apply sunscreen after using the gel. Do not wash your face more than 2 or 3 times a day. Apply sunscreen as needed.
• Safety and effectiveness in children below 12 years of age have not been established.
• Consult your physician before using this medication.

✔️ Interaction

• Use caution when using other potentially irritating topical products (e.g., medicated or abrasive soaps, high alcohol content products, astringents, spices, or lime).
• Avoid concomitant use with Erythromycin, as it decreases the activity of both Clindamycin and Erythromycin.
• Use caution with neuromuscular medications as Clindamycin can enhance their activity.
