Description
About the drug
Clindac A is a skincare medication that treats Acne (including zits, blackheads, and whiteheads) on the face, back, and chest. The main active ingredient in Clindac A is Clindamycin, which belongs to a class of drugs called Antibiotics. It works by killing acne-causing bacteria. The Clindamycin gel is a topical medication that should be taken as per the instructions given by your doctor. Galderma manufactures and markets Clindac A gel globally.
Uses
Clindac, a highly recommended medication for bacterial infections, receives positive reviews. Bacterial infections can cause a variety of symptoms, including ulcers, cellulitis, skin infections, and acne-like spots. These spots are caused by hair follicles blocked with dead skin cells and sebum, leading to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and cysts. Clindamycin gel effectively attacks the bacteria responsible for these infections and prevents them from spreading. It also reduces pustules, which are small, pus-filled skin lumps that appear as white pimples surrounded by red skin and can sometimes grow fairly large.
How it works
Clindac A Gel is an antibiotic. Clindamycin’s action prevents the production of essential proteins necessary for bacteria to carry out their vital functions. Thus, it stops the bacteria from growing and prevents the infection from spreading. Hence, it works by lessening irritation and unclogging clogged pores by enabling the removal of extra oil and impurities from the skin. Clindamycin gel should be applied according to the instructions given by your general practitioner. If you experience any adverse effects after using the gel, immediately contact a medical expert.
