For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer to the acne-affected skin once daily or as directed by a doctor.

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

If you miss a dose
Take the missed dose of Acnestar as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed one and carry on with the usual schedule. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.
If you take too much
Taking more Acnestar than prescribed can be harmful. If you suspect an overdose, contact a doctor or go to the nearest emergency department at once, and carry the pack or strip with you. In India the emergency number is 112.
