Description
Overview of the medicine
Spotclen-Plus 40 mg Cream is a topical dermatological preparation designed to treat acne vulgaris, reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and improve overall skin texture. It works by targeting bacterial growth, reducing inflammation, and promoting skin cell turnover, leading to clearer and smoother skin.
Uses & Indications
Dosage
Adults
Apply a thin layer to the affected areas of the skin twice daily, morning and evening, after cleansing.
Elderly
No specific dose adjustment required; use as per adult dosage.
Renal_impairment
No dose adjustment required as systemic absorption is minimal.
How to Take
For external use only. Wash hands before and after applying the cream. Cleanse the affected area with a mild cleanser and pat dry before application. Apply a thin layer evenly. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
Mechanism of Action
The cream likely combines agents that have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and keratolytic properties. It reduces the growth of acne-causing bacteria (e.g., P. acnes), decreases inflammation in the skin, and normalizes keratinization processes, preventing pore blockages. It may also inhibit tyrosinase activity to reduce hyperpigmentation.
Pharmacokinetics
Onset
Noticeable improvement typically within 4-6 weeks of consistent use.
Excretion
Excreted locally via desquamation; systemically, if absorbed, via renal excretion.
Half life
Not significant due to minimal systemic absorption; local half-life relates to skin turnover.
Absorption
Minimal systemic absorption after topical application; primarily acts locally on the skin.
Metabolism
Locally metabolized in the skin to inactive metabolites, minimal systemic metabolism.
Side Effects
Contraindications
- Hypersensitivity to any component of the cream
- Application on broken, abraded, or severely irritated skin
Drug Interactions
Abrasive soaps/cleansers
Avoid concurrent use to prevent excessive dryness or irritation.
Other topical exfoliants
Concurrent use with other topical exfoliants, peeling agents, or irritating cosmetics may increase skin irritation; use with caution and under medical advice.
Storage
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach and sight of children.
Overdose
Topical overdose is unlikely to cause systemic effects. Excessive application may lead to increased local skin irritation, redness, dryness, and peeling. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive; discontinue use temporarily and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.
Pregnancy & Lactation
Use during pregnancy and lactation should be done with caution and only if clearly needed, under medical supervision, due to limited systemic absorption. Consult a doctor before use.
