Always follow your dermatologist’s instructions. Typically, you apply a thin layer of Cleocin T Gel once or twice daily to affected areas after cleansing the skin. Avoid excessive application; a pea-sized amount often suffices for a small area.
Dosage depends on your condition and your doctor’s prescription. Do not increase the dosage or frequency without consulting your doctor.
- Application Technique: Gently massage the gel into the skin until it’s fully absorbed. Cleanliness: Wash your hands before and after application. Sun Sensitivity: Cleocin T Gel may increase your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. Use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher during the day and limit sun exposure.
Potential side effects include:
- Mild burning or stinging at the application site. Dryness or peeling skin. Redness or irritation. Itching.
More serious, though rare, side effects include:
Severe allergic reactions (seek immediate medical attention). Pseudomembranous colitis (a serious bowel condition).
If you experience any concerning side effects, contact your doctor immediately. Consistent use as directed is key to achieving desired results. Remember, this information is not a substitute for professional medical advice. Consult your dermatologist for personalized guidance.
