How Clinxa Gel works

Likely contains a topical antibiotic that reduces acne-causing bacteria on the skin and decreases inflammation. This helps dry up pimples and prevents new lesions from forming.

How to take Clinxa Gel

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer of gel once or twice daily or as prescribed. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, inside nose and broken 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

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

Side effects of Clinxa Gel

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

• Skin dryness
• peeling
• redness
• burning/stinging
• itching
• irritation

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.

Safety advice for Clinxa Gel

Warnings and precautions

Use only on skin. Stop and consult a doctor if severe irritation, swelling, blistering, or allergic reaction occurs. Prolonged use of topical antibiotics can lead to resistance; use for the duration advised. If significant diarrhea/abdominal cramps occur (rare), seek medical advice. Use with caution in eczema/very sensitive skin.

Do not take Clinxa if

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

Interactions with other medicines

Other topical acne/irritant products (retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, alcohol-based toners) may increase irritation; topical antibiotics used together may increase resistance risk. If the product contains clindamycin, avoid concomitant use with neuromuscular blocking agents without medical advice.

How to store Clinxa Gel

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place away from direct light and moisture. Keep the cap tightly closed and out of reach of children.

Expert advice for Clinxa 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.
