Clindac A 1% Gel
Clindac A is indicated for topical application to treat acne vulgaris in patients 12 years and older. Acne vulgaris is characterised by areas of pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and greasy skin, and may result in scarring. It occurs when the pores become clogged with dead skin cells and oil. Clindac A is used to treat acne vulgaris, which typically reduces the number of Propionibacterium acnes that causes acne. This helps significantly reduce acne. minimising inflammation and preventing new pimples from forming. The gel is particularly effective when a breakout occurs on the chest, face or back.
It contains the active ingredient Clindamycin, an antibiotic used to treat a number of bacterial infections, including acne vulgaris. Each 20g tube contains 1% of Clindamycin. A decrease in the number of inflammatory lesions should be observed after 2 to 6 weeks, but more than 8 weeks of treatment may be required before any definite beneficial effects are seen. If your condition still does not improve after this time, call your dermatologist.
How to use?
Clindac A 1% is for external use only and is applied directly to the skin. Before applying the gel, wash the entire face with a mild soap and warm water. Apply a thin layer directly to each acne lesion or to the affected areas. Rub it well into the skin. Don’t forget to wash your hands thoroughly after applying. The gel is usually applied to the affected areas twice daily. The frequency will depend on the severity of the condition and skin tolerance, but should not exceed twice a day. Treatment of acne should be individualised according to the type of lesions that predominate and the response to treatment.

Precautions and warnings
Clindac A 1% is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to preparations containing lincomycin, Clindamycin or other ingredients present in this formulation. Also, avoid using the medicine if you have a history of ulcerative colitis (inflamed bowel), regional enteritis, or antibiotic-associated colitis. The product is for external use only and not for ophthalmic use. The formulation is inflammable; therefore, patients should avoid smoking or being near an open flame at the time of application and immediately after use. There are no adequate research studies in pregnant women. The safety of the product for use in pregnant women is unclear unless clearly required and unless the benefits to the mother outweigh any potential risk to the fetus. Also, it is not known whether Clindamycin is excreted in breast milk after topical application. Because of the potential for serious side effects in nursing infants, breastfeeding should not be considered while a patient is using Clindamycin gel. Concurrent use of topical medications containing alcohol should be avoided, as they potentiate the skin's drying effect. The solvent contained in some medicated soaps, abrasive cleansers, or cosmetics is alcoholic. They may cause a cumulative irritant effect in individuals undergoing Clindac A treatment. Topical acne medications containing agents such as benzoyl peroxide, tretinoin, salicylic acid, or resorcinol may sensitise the skin to various unwanted reactions. Concurrent use of Clindac A and these abrasive agents should be treated with caution in combination therapy. Concomitant use of a comedogenic cosmetic or other comedogenic product should be avoided. Keep a list of all your topical agents and give it to your dermatologist.
