Medical Description

Capgel Gel is used for the treatment and management of acne. It comprises two medications, clindamycin and adapalene. Clindamycin is an antibiotic, while adapalene is a derivative of vitamin A. Capgel Gel inhibits the growth of bacteria that cause spots, reduces inflammation, and prevents the formation of blemishes due to the accumulation of oil and dirt. Wash your hands after applying this Gel. Do not use Capgel for any other condition. Excessive use of makeup and other skin products should be avoided while using this Gel. Avoid using it if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. The popping of acne can lead to the spreading of bacteria on the skin, which can result in the worsening of acne and acne scars.

Mode of Action

How Does It Work?

Capgel Gel works by the combined action of its two components clindamycin and adapalene. Clindamycin inhibits the protein synthesis in the bacteria responsible for causing infection and thus inhibits the growth of infection-causing bacteria. Adapalene acts by inhibiting the rooting of pimples inside the skin and decreases swelling and inflammation. It also removes dead skin cells and enhances deeper penetration of Clindamycin.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

  • Capgel Gel is meant for local application on skin and thus is less likely to interact with other medicines taken orally.
  • However, it may interact with other topically applied medicine. Discuss with your doctor if you are already on another topical medicine.
  • Be cautious if you are taking oral anticoagulants like Warfarin, Acenocoumarol and Fluindione as components of this medicine may interact with the Gel. Regular monitoring of blood coagulation parameters is recommended.
