General Information






Product introduction
Use Brevoxyl Cream in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor or follow the instructions provided in the leaflet. Wash and dry the affected area before application. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve. Keep using it as advised. Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve after a month of regular use.
Common side effects of Brevoxyl Cream include itching, stinging, peeling, and redness of the skin. They are not usually serious, but tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away. You may need to apply a smaller amount or use it less often. It can also bleach hair and fabrics, including clothes, so be careful to avoid contact with these.
Brevoxyl Cream is meant for external use only and should be applied carefully to avoid irritation. Do not apply the medicine to broken or damaged skin. Also, keep the medicine away from the eyes, mouth, nose, and other sensitive areas. Sun exposure and UV light should be limited during treatment, as the skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight.
Uses of Brevoxyl Cream
Benefits of Brevoxyl Cream
Brevoxyl Cream is an antimicrobial agent that treats acne, commonly called pimples. It kills the acne-causing bacteria and prevents spots or pimples from appearing. It usually takes a few weeks to have a noticeable effect so keep using it even if it appears not to be working. Sometimes acne may get worse before it gets better, however, with proper use, your skin will get clearer. The earlier you start using it, the less likely you are to get scars. This medicine will help improve your mood and uplift your confidence as your skin becomes acne-free. It should not be used if you have eczema or sunburned skin.
