CompositionFemcinol-A Gel is used to control acne breakouts by reducing bacterial growth and calming skin inflammation. It helps clear existing pimples while minimising redness and irritation linked to acne-prone skin.
Along with controlling acne, the gel also supports skin repair and reduces the chances of new breakouts. Before starting this gel, share your medical history with your doctor and follow the advised usage. Report any unusual skin reactions promptly and continue the gel as prescribed.
Femcinol-A Gel is used to treat acne vulgaris by reducing pimples, controlling bacterial growth, and easing skin inflammation. It is also used to minimise redness, swelling, and blemishes while promoting faster healing of minor skin wounds and preventing new breakouts.
Follow these steps while using Femcinol-A Gel:
Make sure the affected area of your skin is clean and dry before application.
Apply a thin layer of the prescribed amount of gel to the affected area once daily.
Avoid contact with your eyes, lips, and other sensitive areas. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Wash your hands before and after applying the gel to prevent spreading bacteria.
Consult your doctor for any specific instructions related to your condition.
Femcinol-A Gel is applied topically.
Femcinol-A Gel may cause side effects such as application site reactions, including burning, itching, dryness, redness, oily complexion, and peeling. Other side effects may include headache, irritability, and rash.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Femcinol-A Gel. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some tips for managing common side effects:
Application site reactions: If you notice skin irritation after applying Femcinol-A Gel, consider using a non-comedogenic moisturiser to help soothe your skin.
Femcinol-A Gel contains two active ingredients:
Clindamycin (1%): As part of the lincosamide antibiotic group, clindamycin fights against Propionibacterium acnes, a type of bacteria found in sebaceous follicles and comedones on the skin. By decreasing these bacteria colonies and free fatty acid levels on the skin, it helps reduce inflammation caused by acne.
Nicotinamide (4%): Being the amide form of vitamin B3, nicotinamide serves as an anti-inflammatory agent. It lessens the inflammatory immune response associated with acne. Furthermore, it reduces sebum production - an oily substance that may clog pores and cause acne. It also promotes wound healing by boosting collagen and ceramide synthesis and stimulating skin cell differentiation.
Together, clindamycin and nicotinamide provide enhanced efficacy compared to either ingredient alone in managing both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne lesions.
If you're pregnant, consult your doctor before starting this medicine.
It's wise to discuss this with your doctor before using this medicine while nursing.
It's always best to talk to your doctor about any concerns.
If you have liver health issues, caution is advised when using Femcinol-A Gel. Discuss your liver health history with your doctor before starting this medicine.
Those with kidney problems should also be cautious when using Femcinol-A Gel. It's a good idea to consult your doctor first.
Femcinol-A Gel is a topical medicine and generally doesn't affect your ability to drive or operate machinery.
If you have allergies to clindamycin, nicotinamide or any other component of Femcinol-A Gel, avoid using it. Always discuss any known allergies with your doctor.
Caution is advised while using Femcinol-A Gel in children under 12 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.
Older patients should use Femcinol-A Gel under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its potential side effects. It's advised for patients above 70 years of age particularly, to discuss any liver and kidney issues with their doctor before starting the medication.
Femcinol-A Gel interacts with the following medicines:
Neuromuscular Blocking Agents: Clindamycin, a component of Femcinol-A Gel, may enhance the action of medicines such as vecuronium and atracurium which are used to relax muscles during surgeries or medical procedures.
Femcinol-A Gel is applied topically, and it is unlikely to interact with any food or drink when used as directed.
Femcinol-A Gel interacts with the following diseases:
Hypersensitivity: If you have a history of allergic reactions to clindamycin, nicotinamide, or any component of Femcinol-A Gel, you should avoid using it.
Skin disorders: You should inform your doctor if you are under medication for any other skin disorders like eczema, urticaria, dermatitis etc.
You should apply Femcinol-A Gel as directed by your doctor. The prescribed amount might vary based on your condition and how your body responds. Always follow your doctor's instructions.
If you accidentally apply too much Femcinol-A Gel, you might experience symptoms like skin irritation or upset stomach. In such cases, rinse the area with water and inform your doctor.
If you forget to apply Femcinol-A Gel, do it as soon as you remember. But if it's near the time for the next application, skip the missed one. Never increase your dosage without consulting your doctor.
Store Femcinol-A Gel in a cool room, ideally between 20°C and 25°C.
Keep it away from direct sunlight and high humidity.
Ensure the tube is tightly sealed after use to prevent exposure to air.
