Acnecure Gel
Product introduction
Acnecure Gel is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in the skin. It is used to treat bacterial skin infections such as acne, which appears as spots or pimples on your face, chest, or back. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria and preventing the infection from spreading.
Acnecure Gel is only meant for external use and should be used as advised by your doctor. You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of the medicine. It should not be applied to broken or damaged skin. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get it in these areas. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve, but you should keep using this medicine regularly. Do not stop using it as soon as your acne starts to get better. Ask your doctor when you should stop treatment.
Side effects like minor itching, irritation, burning, or redness at the site of application may be seen in some people. These are usually temporary and resolve on their own. Consult your doctor if they bother you or do not go away.
It is a safe medicine, but you should inform your doctor if you have any problems with your bowels (intestines), if you have ever had bloody diarrhea caused by taking antibiotics or if you are using any other medicines to treat skin conditions. Consult your doctor about using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

FAQs
Q. How to use Acnecure Gel for treating acne?
Apply it as a thin layer onto the affected site of the skin. It may cause minor burning, stinging, or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Q. What precautions are to be taken while using Acnecure Gel?
This medicine can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Try to avoid exposure to sunlight as much as possible and use sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors after consulting your doctor.
Q. How long does it take for Acnecure Gel to show its effect?
You might start to see an improvement in 6 weeks after using this medicine and takes approximately 8-12 weeks to see the complete effects. Continue with the treatment as long as prescribed by your doctor. The most common reason for treatment failure is giving up too soon, thinking that the treatment is not working. If, however, your skin has not improved even after completing the prescribed time, consult your doctor.
Q. When should I call my doctor right away?
Get medical help right away if you have signs of allergic reaction such as skin redness, rash, hives, itching, blisters, and swelling of the face, lips, or tongue.
Q. Can I use Acnecure Gel with any other face cream or moisturizer?
It is advisable not to use Acnecure Gel with other topical anti-acne medicines unless prescribed by your doctor. It can increase the risk of side effects such as skin peeling, irritation, or dryness. However, you can use a sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors after consulting your doctor.
Q. What happens if I miss a dose of Acnecure Gel?
If you happen to miss a dose, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra medicine to make up for the missed dose. Discuss this with your healthcare provider. In order to avoid missing a dose, use a calendar, pillbox, alarm clock, or cell phone alert to help you remember to take your medication.
