Overview Acno(Intas) Cream

Intas' Acno Cream, a retinoid acne treatment, is indicated for severe acne vulgaris (pimples) in post-pubertal adolescents and adults (12 years and older) unresponsive to prior therapies. This topical cream regulates sebum production. Application should be precise, preferably at night, as directed by your physician; dosage and duration vary with individual needs. Cleanse and dry the affected skin before applying a thin layer once daily before bed. Strictly adhere to your doctor's instructions. Avoid application to broken skin and contact with mucous membranes (eyes, mouth, nose). Improvement may take weeks; consistent use is crucial. Consult your doctor if no improvement is seen after several weeks. Common, usually transient, side effects include itching, burning, peeling, and redness. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention; dosage reduction may be considered. Serious adverse reactions are uncommon. Increased sun sensitivity necessitates sun protection. Hydration (plenty of water) and moisturization are recommended due to potential dryness of the mouth, lips, and eyes. Skin fragility may increase. Avoid waxing or laser treatments during use. This medication carries a risk of birth defects; pregnant or planning pregnancy, consult your physician immediately.

FAQs on Acno(Intas) Cream

Keep Acno (Intas) Cream away from your mouth, eyes, lips, mucous membranes, and any broken skin. Rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs. Prevent cream buildup in skin creases. Because Acno (Intas) Cream can increase sun sensitivity, limit or avoid direct sunlight and sunlamps. If sun exposure is unavoidable, wear sunscreen.
Avoid applying Acno (Intas) Cream to skin recently treated cosmetically (e.g., depilation, chemical hair removal, peels, dermabrasion, laser resurfacing). Let your skin fully heal before use. When in doubt, seek medical advice.
Before planning a pregnancy, talk to your doctor. It's generally recommended to wait approximately one month after discontinuing Acno (Intas) Cream to minimize potential risks to your baby.
Acno (Intas) Cream Gel treats mild to moderate acne in adolescents and adults. It is not suitable for children under 12.
Overuse of Acno (Intas) Cream gel may cause skin redness or irritation. If this occurs, reduce application frequency or discontinue use temporarily.
Avoid donating blood during and for one month after using Acno (Intas) Cream gel. Donating blood while using this medication could harm a pregnant recipient's unborn child.
Before applying the Acno (Intas) Cream gel, cleanse and thoroughly dry your skin, ensuring all makeup is removed. Gently apply a thin layer to all acne-affected areas, not just individual spots.
