Erytop 1% Gel 20 g

Erytop 1% Gel 20 g is a prescription topical acne medicine containing clindamycin 1% in each 20 g tube. Clindamycin is an antibiotic used on the skin to help reduce acne-causing bacteria and calm inflamed breakouts. This gel is applied directly to acne-prone skin rather than taken by mouth, making it a localized treatment for mild to moderate acne. It is supplied as Erytop 1% Gel 20 g by USV, India.

How it works: Clindamycin in Erytop 1% Gel 20 g works by stopping acne-causing bacteria from multiplying on the skin. As a gel, it spreads easily over affected areas and is designed to dry quickly while treating the skin surface directly.

Erytop 1% Gel 20 g is the only strength and form listed for this brand, so there are no sibling products to compare it with. The 1% gel strength is a standard topical acne concentration that a doctor may choose when a patient needs a skin-applied antibiotic with a lightweight, fast-drying feel instead of an oral medicine.

• Mild to moderate acne
• Inflamed pimples and red bumps
• Acne on the face, chest, or back
• Prescription topical antibiotic acne treatment

• Use only on clean, dry skin as directed by your doctor.
• Apply a thin layer of Erytop 1% Gel 20 g to the affected acne areas, not just individual spots unless instructed.
• Wash your hands before and after applying the gel.
• Avoid getting the gel in your eyes, mouth, nose, or on broken skin.
• Do not use more often than prescribed; more gel does not work faster and may irritate the skin.
• If you also use other acne products, follow your doctor’s schedule to reduce dryness and peeling.

Each tube of Erytop 1% Gel 20 g contains clindamycin 1% for topical use. The usual application frequency may be once or twice daily depending on the prescriber’s instructions, and there is no oral-style maximum daily dose because the medicine is measured by how much gel is applied to the skin. Your doctor decides the exact amount and how long you should use Erytop 1% Gel 20 g based on your acne severity and skin tolerance.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.

• Limit use of harsh soaps, scrubs, or alcohol-based skincare if the gel causes dryness or stinging.
• Be careful when combining it with other acne treatments that can irritate the skin, such as benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, or exfoliating products.

• Do not share your Erytop 1% Gel 20 g tube with anyone else.

• Erythromycin topical or oral products may reduce effectiveness when used together.

• Other acne products that dry or irritate skin can increase redness, peeling, or burning.
• Alcohol-heavy skin products may worsen irritation when applied with this gel.
