Biogram Solution
Prescription RequiredProduct introduction
Biogram Solution is a topical antibiotic medicine used to treat moderate to severe acne. It works by reducing the growth of acne-causing bacteria on the skin and calming the inflammation that makes pimples red, swollen, and painful. This helps clear existing spots and prevent new breakouts.
Apply Biogram Solution in the exact dose and duration instructed by your doctor. Placed a small amount on the fingertips and gently rubbed it into all acne-affected areas of the skin. Do not bathe, shower, or swim for at least one hour after applying it. For best results, use it regularly as prescribed. Keep the skin clean with a gentle cleanser, and avoid heavy makeup or oily products.
The most common side effect of Biogram Solution is headache. Some people may also notice mild redness, dryness, itching, or skin peeling. If headaches or skin problems become severe or persistent, consult with your doctor for guidance.
Biogram Solution is for external use only and should not be applied to the eyes, mouth, or inside the nose. Limit sun exposure because this medicine can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight; use sunscreen and protective clothing if you must be outdoors. Do not use this medicine if you are allergic to tetracycline antibiotics. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should talk to their doctor before using it to make sure it is safe.
