Benefits of Aknegate BPO Gel
- In Acne

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.
