BPX 2.5% GEL
BPX 2.5% Gel is an
anti-bacterial medicine used to treat acne. Acne appears as spots or pimples on
your face, chest or back. This medicine works by attacking the bacteria that
cause them.
BPX 2.5% Gel may be used alone or with other acne treatments. You should use it
as advised by your doctor. The leaflet that comes with the product
will also give instructions which you should read to get the most out of this
medicine. You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a
thin layer of gel once or twice a day. You should not apply it to damaged or
broken skin and avoid contact with your mouth, eyes, and nose. It may take
several weeks for your symptoms to improve and several months to get maximum
benefit. Consult your doctor after a month of regular use of this medicine, if
your condition is not improving.
BPX 2.5% Gel has some common side effects including itching, stinging, peeling,
and redness of the skin. They are not usually serious but, if they bother you
or do not go away, tell your doctor. You may need to apply smaller amounts or
use it less often. This medicine can make you more sensitive to sunlight. While
using it you should try to avoid exposure to too much sunlight. If this is
unavoidable, apply the gel in the evening. It can also bleach hair and fabrics
including clothes so be careful to avoid contact with these.
It is a safe medicine, but you should tell your doctor if you have other skin
conditions and if you are taking any other medicines, especially those applied
to the skin. It may not be suitable if you have very sensitive skin. Ask your
doctor about using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
HOW TO USE BPX GEL
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel. Wash your hands after applying, unless hands are the affected area.
HOW BPX GEL WORKS
BPX 2.5% Gel is an organic compound. It has a keratolytic property, i.e., it even out the uneven skin. When applied on acne, it releases oxygen which kills the bacteria. This is how it works to cure your acne.
