How to Use
Acnedap Gel is intended for external use only. Apply the gel to the affected areas of the skin as directed by your doctor. Make sure the skin is clean and dry before applying the medication. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after using the gel. If the gel accidentally gets into your eyes, nose, mouth, or other mucous membranes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical help if necessary. To achieve optimal results, continue using the gel as prescribed, even if your symptoms seem to improve.
Uses/Benefits
Acnedap Gel is primarily used for the treatment of acne. As an antibiotic, it works by inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria, which helps reduce inflammation and redness. The gel may take several weeks to show noticeable improvement, and in some cases, acne may worsen temporarily before getting better. Consistent use of the gel helps prevent future breakouts and can reduce the risk of scarring.
