Nax-B Gel is primarily used to manage acne vulgaris, a common skin condition. It's a combination medication that belongs to the class of antibiotics and antimicrobials.

Besides managing acne, this medicine also targets the bacteria that cause the inflammation associated with acne. It aids in preventing clogged pores, a significant contributor to acne development.

Before using this gel, consult your doctor who will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency for you. Make sure you inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting this medicine. If you experience any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For best results, continue using Nax-B Gel for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Nax-B Gel is used for managing the following conditions:

Reducing inflammation and unclogging pores in moderate acne vulgaris
Targeting Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria causing acne
Managing both inflammatory (papules and pustules) and non-inflammatory (comedones) acne lesions

Here's how you can use Nax-B Gel:

Ensure your skin is clean and dry before application.
Gently wash your face with a non-medicated cleanser, rinse with warm water, and pat dry.
Apply a pea-sized amount of the gel on each affected area - forehead, chin, nose, and cheeks. Spread it gently and evenly.
Wash your hands thoroughly after applying the gel to avoid spreading the gel to other areas.
Always consult your doctor for specific advice on using this product.

Nax-B Gel is applied topically.

Upon using Nax-B Gel, you may experience the following side effects:

Erythema: This is a medical term for redness of the skin.
Peeling
Dryness
Burning sensation
Photosensitivity: This is increased sensitivity to sunlight, making your skin more prone to sunburn.

Managing the Side Effects:

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

Here are some guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dryness: If your skin feels dry after applying this gel, consider using a gentle moisturiser that doesn't clog pores.
Photosensitivity: If you notice increased sensitivity to sunlight, try applying sunscreen before stepping out during the daytime.

Nax-B Gel contains two active ingredients that work together:

Clindamycin (2.5%): This lincosamide antibiotic works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to certain parts of susceptible bacteria, slowing their growth and reducing acne inflammation.
Benzoyl Peroxide (1%): This ingredient acts as an oxidising agent. It produces free oxygen radicals that interact with bacterial proteins in Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria involved in causing acne. This interaction reduces the presence of P. acnes and unclogs pores by drying and peeling the skin.

These two components work together in Nax-B Gel to manage acne effectively while minimising systemic absorption and reducing the chance of antibiotic resistance in P. acnes.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Nax-B Gel if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before applying this medicine.

Breastfeeding

It's not known if Nax-B Gel is excreted in human milk after topical application. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using this gel if you are breastfeeding.

Alcohol

There are no known interactions between alcohol and Nax-B Gel. However, it's always a good idea to discuss your drinking habits with your doctor.

Liver

The effects of Nax-B Gel on liver health have not been fully studied. If you have any liver problems, it is advisable to consult your doctor before starting this medication.

Kidney

The effect of Nax-B Gel on kidney health is unknown. If you have any kidney issues, it's wise to consult your doctor prior to using this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Nax-B Gel does not affect your ability to drive or use machines. However, if you experience any adverse effects that might impair these abilities, stop the activity and seek medical help immediately.

Allergy

Nax-B Gel should not be used if you're allergic to clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide or any other component of the formulation. Always let your doctor know about any allergies you may have.

Children

The safety and efficacy of Nax-B Gel in children below 12 years have not been established. Always check with your doctor before giving this medicine to a child.

Older Patients

Older patients should use Nax-B Gel under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Nax-B Gel interacts with the following medicines:

Topical medications: Care is needed if you are using other skin products, as Nax-B Gel can potentially increase skin dryness or irritation. For instance, products containing salicylic acid or sulphur may interact with Nax-B Gel.
Antibiotics: Medicines like erythromycin, whether applied topically or taken orally, should not be used simultaneously with Nax-B Gel as there can be a decrease in effectiveness due to antagonism between clindamycin and erythromycin.

Drug-Food Interactions

There are no known food interactions with Nax-B Gel since it is a topical medication meant for external use.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Nax-B Gel interacts with the following diseases:

Colitis: If you've had conditions such as regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, antibiotic-associated colitis, or pseudomembranous colitis in the past, using Nax-B Gel could potentially lead to an aggravation of these conditions.
Skin disease: In case of eczema or any other chronic skin condition, applying Nax-B Gel could possibly worsen your symptoms due to its drying and peeling effects.

Daily Dose

The daily dosage of Nax-B Gel should be as suggested by your doctor, considering factors like the severity of your acne and your response to the medicine.

Over Dose

If you accidentally apply more Nax-B Gel than prescribed, you might notice increased skin dryness or peeling. If these symptoms persist, inform your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Nax-B Gel, do so as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next application, skip the missed one.

Store Nax-B Gel in a refrigerator at a temperature between 2°C to 8°C.
Keep the tube tightly closed, protecting it from light and air exposure.
Keep out of reach of children.

As Nax-B Gel is used for managing acne, maintaining good skin hygiene is imperative. Regular face washing with a non-medicated cleanser can help reduce acne breakouts.
Incorporating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains, and low in simple sugars can help manage acne. Consult your doctor for more specific dietary advice.
