How Acnestar Gel works

Acnestar Gel is an anti-acne topical preparation. It helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation and promotes unclogging of pores to prevent formation of new pimples. The exact mechanism depends on the active ingredient(s) in the gel.

How to take Acnestar Gel

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer to the acne-affected skin once daily or as advised by a doctor. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, inside nose and broken/irritated skin; wash hands after application.

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

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.

Side effects of Acnestar Gel

Most side effects of Acnestar are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Dryness
  • peeling
  • redness
  • burning/stinging
  • itching
  • irritation

Stop the medicine and get help at once 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.
