How Acnay Gel works

Acne gels typically reduce acne-causing bacteria, decrease inflammation and help unclog pores by normalizing shedding of skin cells. This leads to fewer new pimples and faster healing of existing lesions.

How to take Acnay Gel

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer over acne-affected skin once daily or as directed by a dermatologist. Avoid contact with eyes, lips and broken skin; wash hands after use.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

Apply it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next application, skip the missed one — applying extra does not make up for it.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause vomiting, severe loose motions and nerve symptoms. It is unlikely to cause serious harm, because the body passes surplus B vitamins out in the urine. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Acnay Gel

Most side effects of Acnay are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

• Skin dryness
• peeling
• redness
• burning or stinging
• itching
• irritation

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
