Treclin Gel 30g

Apply Treclin gel once daily at bedtime. Wash the entire face with mild soap and warm water. Pat dry using a towel. Use a pea-sized amount onto one fingertip, dot onto each area of the face: the chin, cheeks, nose, and forehead, then gently rub the gel over the entire face.

Treclin gel should only be used on the skin. When applying Treclin gel, avoid getting it into the eyes, eyelids, lips, and nostrils. Treclin should not be used in patients who: have a history of hypersensitivity to clindamycin and/or tretinoin or any of the excipients or lincomycin have regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or a history of any antibiotic-associated colitis have a personal or familial history of skin cancer have a history of acute eczemas, rosacea and perioral dermatitis have pustular and deep cystic nodular acne varieties (acne conglobata and acne fulminans) Special warnings and precautions for use: Treclin is not for oral, ophthalmic, intranasal or intravaginal use Treclin is not recommended in treatment of mild acne vulgaris Treclin should not be used during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester and women not using contraception Contact with the mouth, eyes and mucous membranes and injured skin should be avoided In the event of accidental contact with the eyes, bathe with large amounts of water. Antibiotic-associated colitis has been reported with the use of some other topical clindamycin products. This is unlikely to occur with Treclin as plasma levels have been determined and the percutaneous absorption of clindamycin is clinically negligible. If you notice prolonged diarrhea or suffer from abdominal cramps, treatment with Treclin should be discontinued immediately as the symptoms may indicate antibiotic-associated colitis. If severe irritation occurs you should discontinue temporarily or reduce the frequency of application. Treclin should not be applied at the same time as other topical treatments, including cosmetics, as there is a chance of possible incompatibility. Particular caution should be exercised in using keratolytic agents such as sulfur, salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide or resorcinol and chemical abrasives. Do not use any cleansers or scrubbing solutions with a strong drying effect. You should also avoid abrasive soaps, cosmetics, and spices or lime should be used with caution. Photosensitivity may occur during treatment with Treclin Gel and exposure to sunlight should be limited as much as possible and appropriate sunscreen should be worn. Avoid using sun-lamps or sunbeds throughout treatment as this product should not be used on sunburnt skin. Long-term use of clindamycin may cause resistance and overgrowth of non-susceptible dermal bacteria or fungi, although this is rare. Cross-resistance may occur with other antibiotics such as lincomycin or erythromycin. Do not use if you are allergic to any of the ingredients listed in the ‘Ingredients’ section. Tretinoin causes enhanced permeability for other topically applied medicinal agents.
