Indications
Clindagel (clindamycin phosphate gel) is a topical medication used to treat acne.
Clindagel works by stopping the growth of bacteria that cause acne and reduces the number of acne lesions.
Clindagel is applied once a day to the affected area and is indicated for use in adults and children ages 12 and older.
Use and Dosage
Use this medication only on the skin. Clean and dry the affected area first. Follow all directions on the product package or use as directed by your doctor.
If you are using the lotion, shake the bottle well before using it. Apply a thin layer of medication to the affected area as directed by your doctor, usually twice a day.
If you are using the foam, apply it to the affected areas as directed by your doctor, usually once daily. Use enough to cover the entire affected area. Do not spray the foam directly onto your hands or face, because the foam will begin to melt on contact with warm skin. Instead, spray the amount needed directly into the cap or onto a cool surface such as a countertop. If the can seems warm or the foam seems runny, run the can under cold water. Please read the patient information leaflet available from your pharmacist for specific instructions on how to use the foam and ask about any unclear information.
Wash your hands after use.
Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, mouth, or any areas of broken skin. If you accidentally get medication in these areas, rinse well with plenty of cool water.
It may take between 2 to 6 weeks to notice an improvement in your condition, and up to 12 weeks to see the full benefit. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or worsen.
