Description

Acneklin 40 gm Cream is a topical treatment formulated with Clindamycin (1%) to address bacterial infections, particularly those caused by vaginal bacteria. This antibiotic cream is commonly used in the treatment of bacterial vaginosis, a condition where the balance of bacteria in the vagina is disrupted. Acneklin effectively targets and eliminates harmful bacteria, helping restore balance and alleviate symptoms associated with bacterial infections.

Functions

The primary function of Acneklin 40 gm Cream is to treat bacterial infections, specifically bacterial vaginosis. Clindamycin, the active ingredient, works by inhibiting bacterial growth, which reduces the symptoms of infections such as itching, abnormal discharge, and irritation. It is a potent antibiotic that acts locally, offering targeted relief without affecting the rest of the body.

Precautions

Before using Acneklin 40 gm Cream, consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a history of gastrointestinal issues, such as ulcerative colitis or inflammatory bowel disease. It is crucial to avoid the cream coming into contact with the eyes or mucous membranes. Follow the prescribed dosage instructions carefully and avoid using scented soaps, douches, or tampons, as these can interfere with the treatment and cause irritation.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Acneklin Cream may include mild dryness, irritation, or dermatitis at the application site. Some users may experience gastrointestinal issues, such as diarrhea. Other potential side effects include cervicitis (inflammation of the cervix) and pruritus (itching). If you experience any of these side effects or if symptoms persist, it is important to consult your healthcare provider immediately.

Cautions

Acneklin 40 gm Cream should not be used by individuals who are allergic to Clindamycin or have a history of sensitivity to Lincomycin. Additionally, it is contraindicated in patients with a history of inflammatory bowel disease or antibiotic-associated colitis. Since this cream is not effective against fungal infections, it should only be used as prescribed for bacterial vaginosis. Be aware that using this medication during intercourse may reduce its effectiveness, and it is advised to avoid such activity while using this product. Always complete the full course of treatment to prevent the infection from returning.
