Composition of Aknegate BPO Gel

Aknegate BPO Gel contains Hydrous Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%w/w) + Adapalene (0.1%w/w). It belongs to the Topical antibacterial/keratolytic (benzoyl peroxide) class of medicines.

Uses of Aknegate BPO Gel

  • Acne (acne vulgaris) including blackheads
  • Whiteheads
  • Inflammatory pimples

Benefits of Aknegate BPO Gel

In Acne
Aknegate BPO 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
Aknegate BPO clears the blocked pores that form blackheads and whiteheads and keeps new ones from forming.
In Pigmentation
Aknegate BPO 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
Aknegate BPO smooths rough, uneven skin by speeding up the shedding of dead surface cells.

How Aknegate BPO Gel works

Benzoyl peroxide releases active oxygen on the skin, which kills acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes). It also has mild keratolytic and comedolytic action that helps unclog pores and reduce inflammation.

How to take Aknegate BPO Gel

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer once daily initially; may increase to twice daily as tolerated. Avoid eyes, lips, nostrils and broken/irritated skin. Moisturizer and sunscreen may be used; 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

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. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Aknegate BPO Gel

Most side effects of Aknegate BPO 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
  • contact dermatitis

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.
