How Does It Work?

• Clindamycin works by inhibiting the protein synthesis in the bacteria responsible for causing infection and thus inhibits the growth of infection-causing bacteria.
• Adapalene works by inhibiting the rooting of pimples inside the skin and decreasing swelling and inflammation. It also removes dead skin cells and enhances the deeper penetration of clindamycin.

Interactions with other medicines

• Some medicines can affect the way adapalene+clindamycin works or this medicine itself can reduce the effectiveness of other medicines taken at the same time.
• Tell your doctor about all the medicines, supplements, herbals you are currently taking or are using other topically applied medicines like cream, lotion and gel to avoid any possible interaction.
