Composition of Cleargel Nico Gel

Cleargel Nico Gel contains Clindamycin 1% w/w + Nicotinamide (Niacinamide) 4% w/w (topical gel). It belongs to the Topical antibiotic + Vitamin B3 derivative (anti-inflammatory) class of medicines.

Uses of Cleargel Nico Gel

  • Acne vulgaris (inflammatory acne)
  • pimples with redness and swelling; helps in acne marks and oily skin control as supportive care

Key benefits

  • Helps clear inflamed acne
  • Reduces acne bacteria
  • Lowers redness and swelling
  • Supports reduction in new breakouts
  • Helps improve overall skin texture

How Cleargel Nico Gel works

Clindamycin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and reduces Cutibacterium acnes, decreasing inflammation. Nicotinamide has anti-inflammatory effects and may reduce sebum and improve skin barrier, helping reduce redness and acne lesions.

How to take Cleargel Nico Gel

External use only. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry affected skin once or twice daily as advised; avoid eyes, mouth and mucosa; use moisturizer/sunscreen if dryness or sensitivity occurs.

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 vomiting, severe loose motions and nerve symptoms. It is unlikely to cause serious harm, because the body passes surplus B vitamins out in the urine. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Cleargel Nico Gel

Most side effects of Cleargel Nico are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:

  • Dryness
  • peeling
  • burning
  • stinging
  • redness
  • itching

Stop the medicine and seek help immediately 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.

Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack.

Interactions with other medicines

Other topical acne agents (retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid) may increase irritation; topical erythromycin may reduce effectiveness of clindamycin

How to store Cleargel Nico Gel

Store below 25-30°C, away from direct sunlight and heat; keep tightly closed.

Expert advice for Cleargel Nico Gel

Space the doses evenly and complete the course. Take tetracyclines with a full glass of water and stay upright for half an hour afterwards. Never use a leftover antibiotic, or someone else's, for a new illness. A supplement corrects a deficiency; it is not a general energy tonic. If you are on it for nerve symptoms, keep your review appointment so the underlying cause is looked for.
