Peroclin 2.5% Gel 15gm is used to treat acne.

Uses of Peroclin 2.5% Gel 15gm are:

• Acne: Reduces active acne, including pimples, blackheads and whiteheads.

Peroclin 2.5% Gel 15gm is applied topically.

Peroclin 2.5% Gel 15gm works effectively by using two active ingredients:

• Benzoyl Peroxide (2.5%): This ingredient acts as a keratolytic agent which means it promotes skin turnover and opens clogged pores. It also has antimicrobial properties which help in reducing bacterial count by releasing free-radical oxygen.
• Clindamycin (1%): This is an antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of the bacteria responsible for causing acne - Propionibacterium acnes. It does so by binding to a part of these bacteria called the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, subsequently inhibiting early stages of protein synthesis.

These actions combine to manage acne lesions effectively while also preventing new ones from forming. The gel base also aids in providing a mild drying and peeling effect which assists in skin recovery.

• Keep Peroclin 2.5% Gel 15gm at room temperature.
• Protect the gel from light and prevent it from freezing.
• Store it in a place where children cannot reach it.
• Ensure you use the gel before the expiry date mentioned on the packaging.

• Keep your skin clean and oil-free to manage acne. Avoid using harsh soaps or astringent products, as they can irritate your skin.
• Adopt a diet low in refined sugars and carbohydrates, as these can trigger acne outbreaks. Instead, consume plenty of fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Always consult your doctor for specific dietary recommendations suitable for you.
