Erytop Cream 40gm
Description
Erytop cream is a topical antibiotic primarily used for the treatment of acne. Its active ingredient is clindamycin, which functions by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It stops the growth and function of the bacteria that cause acne, thus managing the bacterial infection and associated inflammation. As a topical preparation, it is designed for external application directly to the affected skin area.
It is essential that you use Erytop cream exactly as your doctor has recommended. While you might start to see the initial effects within a few days, it is important to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if your symptoms begin to clear up quickly. Stopping the medicine too soon can lead to the return or worsening of the acne. For best results, apply a thin layer of the cream to dry, unbroken skin affected by acne and rub it in gently and thoroughly.
Do not use Erytop cream if you are allergic to clindamycin or any of its other ingredients, or if you have a history of digestive disorders like colitis or antibiotic-associated colitis. Avoid applying the medicine to windburned, sunburned skin, open wounds, or in/around the delicate areas of your eyes, lips, or inside of your nose. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss the use of this medicine with your doctor.
The medicine is generally well-tolerated, but you may experience side effects such as skin dryness, irritation, an urge to scratch, or skin oiliness. If you use the cream more often than recommended or on large areas of your body, you risk developing severe side effects or allergic reactions. Store the medicine at room temperature and avoid freezing it, as this may alter its effectiveness. If you miss a dose, apply it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next application, skip the missed dose and continue your regular schedule.
