Description

Acnotin 0.05% Gel is a topical treatment for mild to moderate acne vulgaris, an inflammatory skin condition characterized by pimples, blackheads, and cysts. The active ingredient, Isotretinoin (0.05%), works by reducing the production of sebum (skin oil), which can clog pores and contribute to acne. By targeting the root causes of acne, this gel helps prevent new breakouts, heals existing lesions, and improves the overall appearance of your skin. Acnotin Gel is ideal for individuals dealing with persistent acne that doesn't respond to other topical treatments or antibiotics.

Functions

Acnotin Gel's primary function is to regulate sebum production, one of the main causes of acne. It works by:

• Unclogging pores: Prevents pores from becoming blocked with oil and dead skin cells, which can lead to acne breakouts.
• Reducing inflammation: Helps decrease redness and swelling associated with acne lesions.
• Promoting skin healing: Speeds up the process of healing acne lesions and prevents the formation of new ones.

With consistent application, Acnotin Gel can significantly improve the texture and appearance of acne-prone skin.

Precautions

• Avoid eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes: Isotretinoin should not come into contact with sensitive areas like the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Sun Sensitivity: Acnotin can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. It's crucial to avoid prolonged sun exposure and use sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from sunburn.
• Sunburnt or irritated skin: Do not apply the gel to broken or sunburned skin, as it may cause further irritation.
• Pregnancy: This gel is contraindicated in pregnancy, as isotretinoin can cause birth defects. Do not use if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Acnotin 0.05% Gel may include:

• Local irritation such as redness, dryness, or peeling of the skin.
• Burning or stinging sensation on the application area, especially during the initial days of use.
• Excessive dryness of the skin, particularly around the treated area. These side effects are usually mild and subside with continued use as your skin adjusts. However, if they become bothersome or persistent, consult your doctor.

Cautions

• Pregnancy: Acnotin is highly contraindicated during pregnancy. The active ingredient, isotretinoin, can cause severe birth defects. If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, avoid using this medication.
• Lactation: Caution is advised for breastfeeding mothers. Although the risk is unknown, consult your healthcare provider before using Acnotin if you are breastfeeding.
• Avoid sun exposure: Isotretinoin increases your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. Always wear protective clothing and use sunscreen when outdoors.
• Discontinue if irritation occurs: If the gel causes excessive irritation, redness, or discomfort, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
• Avoid mixing with other skin treatments: While using Acnotin Gel, refrain from using other harsh skin treatments or exfoliating products that could cause additional skin irritation.
