Overview Clidamine 1% Gel

DermaClear 1% Gel, an antibacterial topical treatment, effectively combats acne-causing bacteria. Indicated for blemishes and pimples on the face, chest, and back, it inhibits bacterial growth, thereby clearing the infection and alleviating symptoms. This medication can be applied regardless of food intake but requires consistent, evenly spaced applications as directed by your physician. Consistent timing aids adherence to the prescribed regimen. Dosage is determined individually by your doctor. Complete the full course, even with symptom improvement; premature discontinuation may result in recurrence or exacerbation of the infection. Common, usually mild, side effects include gastrointestinal upset (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea). Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor. Prior to use, disclose any pre-existing liver or kidney conditions, intestinal disorders, or history of antibiotic-induced bloody diarrhea.
