Acne 1 % Gel 15 GM contains Clindamycin (1%). The activity of this medicine can be summarised as follows:

• Inhibition of Bacterial Protein Synthesis: Clindamycin disrupts protein synthesis in bacteria by binding to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes. This process interferes with bacterial protein synthesis, resulting in reduced bacterial growth.
• Bacteriostatic and Bactericidal Properties: While clindamycin primarily stops bacteria from growing further (bacteriostatic), it can also kill bacteria at high concentrations (bactericidal).
• Activity Against Certain Bacteria: It has a significant effect against certain anaerobic bacteria like Propionibacterium acnes, which plays a vital role in acne development.
