Cleocin Gel

Cleocin Gel is a topical medication used to treat acne. It is a form of clindamycin, a type of antibiotic. This medication is available in both over-the-counter (OTC) and prescription forms. It is a gel that is applied to the skin. Cleocin Gel is usually used once or twice a day. The gel should be applied to the affected area and should be rubbed in gently.

Cleocin Gel is effective in treating acne by reducing the number of bacteria on the skin. It also helps to reduce the inflammation and redness associated with acne. This medication can take up to 8 weeks to work. It is important to continue using Cleocin Gel even if you see no improvement in your condition. Stopping the medication too soon may allow the bacteria to become resistant to the gel.

Cleocin Gel is generally well-tolerated. The most common side effects are mild skin irritation and burning. These side effects usually go away with continued use of the gel. If you experience more severe side effects, such as severe skin irritation or burning, hives, difficulty breathing, or swelling of the face, throat, or tongue, stop using Cleocin Gel and seek medical attention immediately.

Cleocin Gel is available in both OTC and prescription forms. The OTC form is available in a 0.75% concentration. The prescription form is available in a 1% concentration. The higher concentration is more likely to cause side effects. If you are using the OTC form, follow the directions on the package. If you are using the prescription form, follow the directions of your doctor or pharmacist.

Cleocin Gel is a safe and effective medication for most people. However, there are a few people who should not use this medication. If you are allergic to clindamycin, lincomycin, or any other ingredients in Cleocin Gel, do not use this medication. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, talk to your doctor before using Cleocin Gel. This medication should not be used by children under the age of 12.
