Composition

Clindamycin (1 %) + Nicotinamide (4 %)

Clinsol Gel is primarily used to manage mild to moderate acne vulgaris. It's a combination medicine that belongs to the class of topical antibiotics and vitamin B3-based medications used for skin conditions.

In addition to combating acne, this medication can also help reduce excessive sebum production in the skin, one of the key causes of acne. It helps control oiliness, minimises pore clogging, and aids in reducing inflammation associated with acne breakouts.

Before you start using this medicine, consult with your doctor for the right dosage and frequency. It's important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medicines you are using. If there are any side effects, notify your doctor immediately. Continue applying the medicine for the entire duration prescribed by your doctor to see optimal results.

Clinsol Gel may have the following common side effects:

Skin dryness, peeling, or flaking
Redness or irritation at the application site
Burning or stinging sensation
Itching

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Clinsol Gel. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Skin dryness, peeling, or flaking: You can apply a moisturiser to help manage skin dryness.
Redness or irritation at the application site: Try applying Clinsol Gel at night, this might reduce the daytime redness and irritation

Clinsol Gel contains two active ingredients:

Clindamycin (1%): This lincosamide antibiotic works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis at the ribosomal level. By doing so, it reduces the growth of propionibacterium acnes bacteria present in sebaceous follicles and glands, which are involved in causing acne.
Nicotinamide (4%): Also known as niacinamide or vitamin B3, it exerts anti-inflammatory effects when applied topically and helps regulate sebum production in the skin. This action assists in reducing swelling, redness and tenderness associated with inflammatory acne lesions while promoting faster healing and lightening post-acne marks.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while applying Clinsol Gel if you are pregnant. It's recommended to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you're breastfeeding, it's best to discuss the use of Clinsol Gel with your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.

Alcohol

There's no known interaction between alcohol and Clinsol Gel. However, always be cautious and discuss with your doctor if you have concerns.

As Clinsol Gel is a topical medicine, it rarely interacts with liver conditions. Nevertheless, if you have any liver health issues, consult your doctor before using this medicine.
