Nexin Gel 15 GM contains Clindamycin (1%). The activity of this medicine can be summarised as follows:

• Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis: Clindamycin disrupts protein synthesis in bacteria by binding to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes. This process interferes with bacterial protein synthesis, resulting in reduced bacterial growth.
• Bacteriostatic and Bactericidal Properties: While clindamycin primarily stops bacteria from growing further (bacteriostatic), it can also kill bacteria at high concentrations (bactericidal).
• Activity Against Certain Bacteria: It has a significant effect against certain anaerobic bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes, which plays a vital role in acne development.

• Always store Nexin Gel 15 GM at room temperature, not exceeding 25°C.
• Avoid exposure to freezing temperatures.
• Keep the gel away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
• Ensure Nexin Gel 15 GM is kept out of reach of children at all times.

• Since Nexin Gel 15 GM is used to manage acne, consider including foods rich in vitamins A, E, and zinc in your diet. These nutrients can contribute to skin health and may help reduce acne outbreaks.
• Try to maintain a regular exercise routine. Physical activity can improve blood circulation, which helps nourish your skin cells and may potentially reduce acne symptoms. Always remember to cleanse your skin after exercising to remove sweat and avoid clogging pores.
