Description
Paknet-C Gel is a combination of Allantoin, Clindamycin and Niacinamide. It is used in the treatment of acne, a common skin condition that occurs when the pores of your skin become clogged causing blackheads, whiteheads, or pimples. This medicine stops the growth of microorganisms that cause acne. It reduces the redness and swelling associated with acne and also helps moisturise the skin.
Paknet-C Gel is generally safe for use. However, you may experience redness, itching, stinging or burning sensation, dryness, and peeling of the skin at the site of application. These side effects are usually mild and subside with time. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects do not resolve with time or worsen. Avoid using this medicine if you are allergic to it.
Paknet-C Gel should be applied as directed by your doctor. Wash and dry the affected skin and apply a thin film over the affected area. Wash your hands before and after applying the medicine. If it gets into your eyes, nose, or mouth accidentally, rinse thoroughly with water. Avoid scratching the affected skin. Use sunscreen before stepping out in the sun.
Paknet-C Gel is not recommended for use in children less than 12 years of age due to the lack of safety and efficacy data. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or are breastfeeding.
