Zindaclin

You should apply a thin layer of Zindaclin gel to the affected skin areas once daily, preferably in the evening after washing your face. Avoid getting the gel in your eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully. If you forget a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next application. Do not apply extra gel to make up for a missed dose.

Zindaclin gel contains 1% clindamycin phosphate (equivalent to 1.2% clindamycin) as the active ingredient. It also includes other components such as ethyl alcohol, glycerol, sodium hydroxide, and purified water.

Common side effects of Zindaclin may include dry or peeling skin, itching, redness, or a burning sensation at the application site. Serious side effects like severe diarrhoea, abdominal pain, or rash should be reported to your healthcare provider promptly. If you experience signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or severe dizziness, seek immediate medical attention.

Do not use Zindaclin if you have a history of colitis or antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Avoid contact with your eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes. Zindaclin is for external use only. Inform your doctor about any skin conditions or allergies you may have. It's important to mention if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new medication, especially if you have sensitive skin or are using other topical products.
