Clindac A Gel

✅ Active Ingredient Overview Table:

🌿 What is Clindac A Gel 1% (Clindamycin)?

Clindac A Gel contains 1% clindamycin phosphate, a lincosamide antibiotic formulated for topical application in acne management. It penetrates pilosebaceous units to inhibit Propionibacterium acnes protein synthesis, reducing inflammatory lesion counts and preventing new pustules and papules.

Inflammatory acne arises from bacterial colonization and subsequent immune response. By applying Clindac A Gel twice daily, patients can achieve a significant reduction in lesion count within 4–6 weeks, improving both clinical signs and patient confidence.

🧬 Pharmacology & Mechanism of Action

Topical clindamycin disrupts bacterial protein synthesis by binding the 50S ribosomal subunit, leading to bacteriostatic effects against P. acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis.

💡 Indications & Application

Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Do not use occlusive dressings.

⚠️ Warnings & Side Effects

Common:

• Dryness, peeling
• Itching, erythema

Serious (rare):

Use caution in patients with a history of antibiotic-associated colitis. Discontinue if severe local irritation or hypersensitivity occurs.
