Uses of Acnewar Plus Gel

- Blackheads
- Whiteheads
- Pigmentation
- Rough skin
- Tuberculosis
Benefits of Acnewar Plus Gel
- In Acne
- Acnewar Plus unblocks pores, reduces the bacteria and inflammation behind spots and helps prevent new ones forming. Improvement is gradual over several weeks.
- In Blackheads and whiteheads
- Acnewar Plus clears the blocked pores that form blackheads and whiteheads and keeps new ones from forming.
- In Pigmentation
- Acnewar Plus lightens dark marks left behind by spots, sun exposure or hormonal changes, evening out the skin tone over weeks of regular use.
- In Rough skin
- Acnewar Plus smooths rough, uneven skin by speeding up the shedding of dead surface cells.
- In Tuberculosis
- Acnewar Plus kills the tuberculosis bacteria, and taken every day for the full course alongside the other TB medicines it clears the infection completely and stops it spreading to the people around you.
How Acnewar Plus Gel works
This medicine combines 2 active ingredients: Adapalene and Dapsone. Adapalene unblocks the pores and speeds up the turnover of skin cells, so fewer spots form. Dapsone kills the bacteria that cause tuberculosis, over a course lasting several months.
How to take Acnewar Plus Gel
Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer and rub it in gently. Wash your hands before and after use, unless your hands are the area being treated. This is for use on the skin only — do not swallow it. Follow the dose and the duration written on your prescription.
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 severe irritation when far too much cream is applied; an oral retinoid taken in excess can cause headache, vomiting and liver injury. It can cause severe liver injury, confusion and fits. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Acnewar Plus Gel
Most side effects of Acnewar Plus are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

- Redness
- Burning or stinging
- Increased sensitivity to sunlight
- Nausea
- Loss of appetite
- Orange-red urine
- sweat and tears
- Joint pain
- Tingling in the hands and feet
- Raised liver enzymes
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.

Warnings and precautions
Acne often looks worse for the first two to four weeks before it improves. This is expected — do not stop. Use sunscreen every day. These medicines make the skin burn much more easily. Oral isotretinoin must never be taken in pregnancy — it causes severe birth defects. Reliable contraception and the pregnancy tests your dermatologist requires are essential before, during and after the course. Start with alternate nights and build up, and do not use more than a pea-sized amount for the whole face. Do not combine several strong acne actives at once without advice — the irritation compounds. TB treatment must be taken every day for the whole course, usually six months or more. Stopping early is the main cause of drug-resistant TB, which is far harder to treat. Rifampicin turns urine, sweat and tears orange-red. This is harmless, but it permanently stains soft contact lenses. Report yellowing of the eyes or skin, dark urine, persistent vomiting or severe tiredness at once — the liver needs checking. Report any change in vision, including colour vision, immediately if you are on ethambutol. Rifampicin makes hormonal contraception unreliable. Use an additional method throughout and for a period after the course.
Do not take Acnewar Plus if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Oral retinoids are absolutely contraindicated in pregnancy and in anyone who might become pregnant without a pregnancy prevention programme. Topical retinoids are avoided in pregnancy. Your doctor will adjust or change the regimen in significant liver disease.
Interactions with other medicines
Do not combine with other peeling agents or with waxing and harsh scrubs. Oral retinoids must not be combined with tetracycline antibiotics. Rifampicin reduces the effect of a very large number of medicines, including contraceptives, blood thinners, steroids, some heart and HIV medicines. Vitamin B6 is usually given alongside isoniazid to prevent nerve damage — take it as prescribed.
How to store Acnewar Plus Gel
Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.
Quick tips for Acnewar Plus Gel
- Apply retinoids at night to clean, dry skin, and moisturise afterwards.
- Give it at least eight to twelve weeks before judging whether it works.
- Do not pick or squeeze spots.
- That is what leaves scars.
- Take the whole regimen at the same time each day, usually on an empty stomach.
- Keep every follow-up and sputum test appointment.
- Tell your treatment supporter or health worker about any side effect rather than stopping on your own.
