Faceclin Gel is a prescription medicine containing Clindamycin (1% w/w) + Nicotinamide (4% w/w). It is used for acne (pimples), inflammatory acne lesions, helps reduce redness and infection associated with acne. It belongs to the group of medicines called Topical antibiotic (Lincosamide) +/- Anti-inflammatory vitamin (Nicotinamide).
Clean and dry the affected area. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.
The side effects seen most often with Faceclin Gel are skin dryness, peeling, burning/stinging and redness. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.
Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Faceclin Gel works.
Most side effects of Faceclin are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
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.
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.
Topical clindamycin reduces acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) and inflammation in follicles. If nicotinamide is present, it further reduces inflammation and sebum-related irritation.
For external use only. Prolonged antibiotic use may lead to resistance; use for duration advised. Stop and consult doctor if severe irritation, persistent diarrhea, or signs of allergy occur (rare systemic absorption).
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.
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.
Other irritating topical products (retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid) may increase dryness/irritation; topical erythromycin may reduce efficacy when combined with clindamycin
