Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Faceclin Gel. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
Composition of Faceclin Gel
Faceclin Gel contains Clindamycin (1% w/w) + Nicotinamide (4% w/w). It belongs to the Topical antibiotic (Lincosamide) +/- Anti-inflammatory vitamin (Nicotinamide) class of medicines.
Uses of Faceclin Gel
- Acne (pimples)
- Inflammatory acne lesions
- Helps reduce redness
- Infection associated with acne
Benefits of Faceclin Gel
- In Bacterial infection
- Faceclin treats the bacterial infection it was prescribed for by killing the bacteria or stopping them multiplying. Finishing the course makes sure the infection does not return.
- In Gut infection
- Faceclin clears the bacteria or other organisms causing diarrhoea, abdominal pain and bloating, so the gut settles.
- In Skin infection
- Faceclin treats infected skin and soft tissue, bringing down redness, swelling and pain.
- In Dental infection
- Faceclin treats infections of the teeth and gums, easing the pain and swelling until your dentist can deal with the cause.
- In Vitamin B deficiency
- Faceclin restores the B vitamins your body needs to turn food into energy and to keep nerves and blood cells healthy, correcting the deficiency behind symptoms such as tiredness, sore tongue and pins and needles.
- In Nerve pain and tingling
- Faceclin supplies the vitamins nerves need to repair their protective covering, which over weeks can ease the burning, tingling and numbness of nerve damage.
- In Anaemia
- Faceclin gives the bone marrow the B12 and folate it needs to make healthy red blood cells, correcting the anaemia and the tiredness and breathlessness that come with it.
- In Tiredness due to deficiency
- Faceclin corrects a lack of B vitamins, which is a common and easily missed reason for feeling drained. Energy returns as the stores are rebuilt.
How Faceclin Gel works
Topical clindamycin reduces acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) and inflammation in follicles. If nicotinamide is present, it further reduces inflammation and sebum-related irritation.
How to take Faceclin Gel
Clean and dry the affected area. Apply a thin layer once or twice daily as directed; avoid eyes, lips, inside nose and broken skin. Wash hands after application and use sunscreen during daytime.
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
If you miss a dose of Faceclin Gel, use it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
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 Faceclin Gel
Most side effects of Faceclin are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Skin dryness
- peeling
- burning/stinging
- redness
- itching
- irritation
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.
