Cindala
Cindala gel is a topical antibiotic medication for severe acne conditions. This medication can be used in adults and children aged at least 12 years. The use of Cindala gel can be used to treat serious infections caused by anaerobic or aerobic gram-positive bacteria.
The way it works is by reducing the number of acne lesions and the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
Benefits of Cindala
The benefits of cindala gel can treat several types of severe infections. These include acne vulgaris caused by hyperproliferation, follicular epidermis, inflammation, excessive sweat production, and the activity of P. acnes bacteria. This medicine will provide beneficial results when also used with benzoyl peroxide compounds.
Cindala Dosage
The dosage of cindala gel will be different for people with different conditions. Follow your doctor’s instructions or the directions on the label. The following information includes general dosages only. If your dosage is different, do not change it unless your doctor recommends it.
- Adults and children 12 years and older: Apply twice daily to affected areas.
- Infants and children up to 12 years of age: use and dosage should be determined by a doctor.
If you miss a dose of cindala gel, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule.
How to Use Cindala
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.
Apply a thin layer of medication to the affected area as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily. A larger amount may be needed for larger pimples.
Use enough to cover the entire affected area. If the can seems warm or the gel is runny, try storing it in a cool place. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth or broken skin. If the above-mentioned areas accidentally come into contact with this medication, rinse thoroughly with plenty of cool water.
It may take 2 to 6 weeks to see improvement and up to 12 weeks to see full benefit. Tell your doctor if your condition does not improve or if it worsens.
Caution in Using Cindala
Cindala gel is for external use only. Do not use cindala gel in or near the eyes, inside the nose or mouth, or on broken skin. If you accidentally get the medicine in your eyes, immediately rinse and clean with plenty of cool tap water.
Do not use more than the recommended dose or use for a longer period than prescribed without consulting your doctor. If you use topical products too often, your condition may become worse.
Be sure to use cindala gel for the full course of treatment. Otherwise, the medicine may not cure the infection completely. The bacteria may also become less sensitive to this or other medicines. This can make infections more difficult to treat in the future.
Several weeks may pass before you see improvement in your acne. Continue using cindala gel for the length of time recommended by your doctor.
Talk to your doctor before using any other medications or cleansers on your skin.
If symptoms do not improve within 6 to 8 weeks or if they get worse, see a doctor. In addition to applying acne medication, make sure you also use skincare products.
Do not use cindala gel for other skin conditions in the future. Call your doctor right away if you have stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor.
In addition, cindala gel can be harmful if swallowed. Cindala gel is flammable. Do not store or use near fire or other open flames or while smoking. Cindala gel should be used with extreme caution in children under 12 years of age.
