Clindamycin+Nicotinamide is used in the treatment of acne
Acne-SM Gel is a combination medication belonging to the lincomycin class of antibiotics, primarily used to treat inflamed acne. It works by reducing excessive sebum production and minimizing inflammation associated with acne.
- Clindamycin: A lincomycin antibiotic that penetrates the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes), preventing the spread of infection.
- Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3): Exerts anti-inflammatory effects, helping to reduce redness, swelling, and tenderness caused by acne. It also helps prevent pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads.
- External Use Only: Apply a sufficient amount to cover the affected area.
- Application Steps:
- Wash your hands and clean the affected area before applying.
- Gently apply a thin layer to the affected area.
- Wash your hands after application.

Common side effects, which usually resolve over time, include:

If side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor. To minimize dryness or irritation, consider using a skin moisturizer and drinking plenty of water.
