About Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm

Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm 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.

Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm contains ‘Benzoyl Peroxide’ that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation and unplugs blocked pores. Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm 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. Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm 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). Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm also has a mild drying effect that allows excess oils and dirt to be washed away from the skin.

Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm 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 Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm on sunburned, windburned, dry, or irritated skin. Common side effects of Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm 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 Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm . 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 Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm on sensitive areas, such as the neck. Avoid Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm 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 Benzonix Gel Wash 50 gm . It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or a breastfeeding mother.
