Adaben Duo Gel

Adaben Duo Gel is a dermatological preparation classified as an ‘antiacne’ medication used to treat acne (pimples) and remove the upper dead layer of the skin. Acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked with dead skin cells and oil, providing a breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria.

This gel contains a combination of two drugs: Adapalene and Benzoyl peroxide. Adapalene, a retinoid, works by loosening skin cells on the surface and unblocking pores, reducing oil production, and decreasing pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads. Benzoyl peroxide, a keratolytic agent, breaks down keratin (a protein in the skin) to remove dead skin cells, softens the skin, and possesses antibacterial properties to kill acne-causing bacteria.

Here are some important instructions for using Adaben Duo Gel:

• Use as prescribed by your doctor. It is for external use only.
• Avoid contact with the nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse with warm water thoroughly.
• Your doctor will determine how often you should apply the gel based on your condition.
• Possible side effects may include dry skin, scaling, local skin rash, irritation, redness, or a burning sensation, which usually resolves over time.
• Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Adaben Duo Gelor any other medications.
• Do not apply the gel on cuts, open wounds, sunburned, windburned, chapped, dry, or irritated skin.
• Avoid exposure to tanning beds or sunlight as it may increase sensitivity to sunlight and cause sunburn. Use protective clothing and sunscreen.
• Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before using the gel.
• Do not apply excessive amounts or use for longer than prescribed, as it may increase the risk of side effects.
• Inform your doctor if you have eczema or sunburned skin before using the gel.
