Acnovate Gel is used to treat acne (pimples). It contains adapalene, clindamycin, and zinc acetate. Adapalene works by loosening the cells on the skin's surface and unblocking pores by reducing the production of oil in the skin, thereby reducing the formation of pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads on the skin surface. Clindamycin stops or slows down the growth of bacteria, preventing the growth of acne. Zinc acetate, an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, helps to reduce inflammation, prevent infection, and promote wound healing, further enhancing the treatment of acne and related skin conditions. In some cases, it may cause side effects such as skin peeling, dry skin, irritation, redness, itching, or a burning sensation at the site of application. Before using this medicine, inform your doctor if you are allergic to its components, pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medications, or have pre-existing medical conditions.
