Description
Acneclin 1% Lotion is a topical antibiotic formulation containing Clindamycin (1%), designed to treat bacterial infections, particularly bacterial vaginosis. This lotion provides targeted action to help combat harmful bacteria, reducing symptoms and preventing further infections. It is effective in treating vaginal bacterial infections and is recommended for use under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
Functions
Acneclin 1% Lotion works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria that cause infections. Clindamycin, the active ingredient, is a potent antibiotic that acts locally to clear up bacterial infections, particularly in cases of bacterial vaginosis. By disrupting bacterial protein synthesis, it helps control the overgrowth of harmful bacteria, restoring the natural balance of microbes and reducing discomfort associated with infections.
Precautions
Before using Acneclin 1% Lotion, consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of gastrointestinal issues such as ulcerative colitis or inflammatory bowel disease. Always ensure the lotion does not come into contact with your eyes or mucous membranes. It is important to follow the application instructions carefully and avoid activities that could affect the effectiveness of the medication, such as using scented soaps or douches, or engaging in sexual intercourse during treatment.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Acneclin 1% Lotion may include dry skin, irritation, or inflammation at the site of application. Some users may also experience gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea or more severe reactions such as cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix) or itching. If any of these symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to stop use and consult a healthcare provider immediately.
Cautions
Acneclin 1% Lotion should not be used by individuals with a known allergy to Clindamycin or Lincomycin. It is also contraindicated in those with a history of inflammatory bowel diseases or antibiotic-associated colitis. Be cautious when using this lotion, especially if you have a history of vaginal infections or a fungal infection, as this product is not effective against fungi. Always use the product as directed by your doctor, and complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve.
