RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL is used to treat bacterial skin infections like acne (pimples). Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.

RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL contains ‘Benzoyl Peroxide’ that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation and unplugs blocked pores. RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL decomposes to release oxygen when applied to the skin. This oxygen acts as a bactericidal agent and kills Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that causes acne. RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL increases the turnover rate of epithelial cells (cells that line the surface of the skin), eventually helps in peeling the skin and treating comedones (skin-coloured, small bumps due to acne). RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL also has a mild drying effect that allows excess oils and dirt to be washed away from the skin.

RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, rinse with water immediately. Do not use RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL on sunburned, windburned, dry, or irritated skin. Common side effects of RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, itching, skin irritation, swelling, blistering, crusting, and skin rash.

Let your doctor know if you use any other medicines, including vitamins, before starting RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL. Your skin may become more sensitive in the sunlight, hence always use sunscreen and protective clothing before you step outdoors. Care should be taken while applying RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL on sensitive areas, such as the neck. Avoid RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL contact with hair or fabrics since it has bleaching properties. Please limit the use of products that contain large amounts of alcohol (astringents, shaving creams or after-shave lotions), hair removal products, and products containing lime or spices while using RONIMIDE 2.5MG GEL. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or a breastfeeding mother.

Acne vulgaris (acne) is a skin condition caused when the hair follicles are plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, cysts, and nodules are all types of acne. It commonly occurs in teenagers, although all age groups are affected. Symptoms include blackheads, pus-filled pimples, and large/red bumps. Break-outs can happen on the face, neck, back, shoulders, and chest. The risk factors for acne are hormonal changes, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), poor sleep, stress, smoking, dermatological and cosmetic products with high oil content, and genetic conditions. Treatment involves antibiotics, retinoids, and topical benzoyl peroxide with diet and lifestyle changes.
