Description
Overview of the medicine
Siodil Anti-Acne Cleanser is a topical cleansing formulation designed to deeply cleanse the skin, remove excess oil, and help prevent acne breakouts. It typically contains active ingredients like salicylic acid known for their keratolytic and anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective for acne-prone skin.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply to wet skin, gently massage for 20-30 seconds, then rinse thoroughly. Use once or twice daily, or as directed by a physician.
Elderly
Same as adults, with caution for increased skin sensitivity.
Renal_impairment
No specific dosage adjustment required as systemic absorption is minimal.
How to Take
For external use only. Wet face, apply a small amount, lather, massage gently, and rinse completely. Avoid contact with eyes.
Mechanism of Action
The cleanser works by exfoliating the skin's surface, removing dead skin cells, and unclogging pores. Salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid, penetrates oil-filled follicles to dissolve sebum and cellular debris, reducing comedone formation and inflammation associated with acne.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Visible effects on skin oiliness and pore clogging within days to a few weeks of regular use.
Excretion
Systemically absorbed portions excreted via kidneys, but quantity is usually insignificant for topical use.
Half life
Not typically relevant for topical cleansers with minimal systemic absorption.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption expected with proper use; primarily acts locally on the skin surface.
Metabolism
Local metabolism in skin is limited; systemically absorbed portions are metabolized in the liver but usually negligible.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the cleanser
- Open wounds or severely irritated skin
Drug Interactions
Retinoids
Caution advised when combining with topical retinoids due to potential for increased irritation.
Other topical exfoliants
Avoid using simultaneously with other harsh topical exfoliants or strong irritants unless directed by a healthcare professional.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Keep out of reach of children.

Excessive use may lead to skin irritation, dryness, or redness. Discontinue use and rinse thoroughly if irritation occurs. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical advice.
