Clindamycin 1% w/v, 25mL Lotion
SKU GME1205Antibiotics
Product Introduction
Clindamycin 1% w/v lotion is a topical antibiotic for acne vulgaris. It helps reduce inflamed pimples and redness when used as part of an acne-treatment plan.
How to use
Apply a light film to clean, dry acne-affected skin, usually once or twice daily. Avoid the eyes, lips and damaged skin.
How it works
Clindamycin binds to the bacterial 50S ribosome and inhibits protein synthesis. It reduces susceptible acne-associated bacteria and the inflammation linked with them.
Side effects
Dryness, redness, itching, burning or peeling may occur. Severe or persistent diarrhoea and abdominal cramps are uncommon but important reactions even with topical clindamycin.
Important information
Tell your doctor about previous antibiotic-associated colitis, ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease. Long-term antibiotic-only acne treatment encourages resistance; benzoyl peroxide may be included as part of the wider acne regimen.
Uses
- Inflammatory acne vulgaris.
Benefits
Delivers antibiotic activity directly to acne-affected skin and helps reduce inflamed pimples and redness.
Can I use clindamycin lotion and clindamycin gel on the same area?
Both supply the same antibiotic. Layering them duplicates clindamycin rather than adding a different acne treatment, and can increase irritation.
Can I apply moisturiser or make-up after clindamycin lotion?
Let the lotion dry before adding moisturiser or make-up. Apply it as a light film rather than mixing it into cosmetics or repeatedly layering wet products.
Will it treat a fungal rash on the face?
No. Clindamycin is antibacterial rather than antifungal; some follicular rashes that resemble acne have a different cause.
Why might it be combined with a pore-clearing treatment?
Clindamycin mainly reduces inflammatory lesions. A retinoid or another comedolytic treatment can address blocked follicles as well.
When is treatment response usually assessed?
Acne changes gradually over several weeks; the response and need for continued antibiotic treatment are commonly reassessed around eight to twelve weeks.
Inflammatory acne: acne with red, tender papules or pustules. Antibiotic resistance: reduced bacterial response to an antibiotic.
