Overview Recteen 2.5% Gel

Topical antibacterial Recteen 2.5% Gel effectively combats acne vulgaris, characterized by blemishes on the face, torso, or back. Its mechanism involves eliminating acne-causing bacteria. This gel can be a standalone acne treatment or used concurrently with other therapies, always as directed by your physician. Adhere strictly to the enclosed instructions for optimal results. Cleanse and dry the affected skin prior to application; typically, once or twice daily. Avoid application to broken skin and contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Significant improvement may take several weeks; continue use as prescribed. After a month of consistent use, consult your doctor if your acne persists. Common, usually mild, side effects include skin irritation (itching, burning, peeling, redness). Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your doctor; dosage reduction may be considered. Increased sun sensitivity is possible; minimize sun exposure, applying the gel in the evening if necessary. Avoid contact with hair and fabrics due to potential bleaching. Inform your doctor of any pre-existing skin conditions, concurrent medications (especially topical), and pregnancy/breastfeeding status.
