Overview Acloderm 1% Gel

Benzoyl peroxide 1% gel is a topical antibiotic combating acne-causing bacteria. Effective for treating facial, chest, and back acne breakouts (spots and pimples), it inhibits bacterial growth, alleviating symptoms and resolving the infection. Application timing is flexible—with or without food—but consistent, evenly spaced doses as directed by your physician are crucial for optimal results. Regular daily use aids adherence to the prescribed regimen. Dosage is determined individually; complete the entire course, even with symptom improvement, to prevent relapse. Common, typically mild, side effects include gastrointestinal upset (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). Report persistent or bothersome side effects. Prior to use, inform your doctor of any pre-existing liver or kidney conditions, bowel disorders, or history of antibiotic-induced bloody diarrhea. Disclose all other medications to your healthcare provider, as interactions are possible. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals must seek medical counsel before commencing treatment.
