Zyclin Nano Gel

Zyclin Nano Gel is a topical acne medicine that contains clindamycin as the active ingredient in gel form, supplied by Zydus Cadila, India. Each tube contains the strength listed on the pack for Zyclin Nano Gel, and the gel is applied directly to the skin. Clindamycin belongs to the lincosamide antibiotic class and is used to help treat acne by reducing acne-causing bacteria and inflammation.

How it works: Clindamycin in Zyclin Nano Gel helps slow the growth of acne-related bacteria on the skin. The gel base lets the medicine spread over the affected area and work directly where breakouts are forming.

Zyclin Nano Gel is a skin-applied form, so it is meant for people whose acne treatment plan includes a topical antibiotic rather than a pill or injection. Because this product is already in gel form, it is often chosen when a doctor wants targeted treatment on the face or other acne-prone areas with less whole-body exposure than oral clindamycin.

• Acne vulgaris
• Inflamed pimples
• Whiteheads and blackheads with inflammation
• Topical antibiotic treatment for acne-prone skin

• Wash your hands and gently clean the affected skin before applying Zyclin Nano Gel.
• Apply a thin layer only to the acne-affected areas as prescribed; do not use more than directed.
• Use the gel on intact skin only; avoid the eyes, lips, mouth, inside the nose, and broken or sunburned skin.
• Allow the gel to dry after application before putting on makeup, sunscreen, or other skin products unless your doctor tells you otherwise.
• If your skin becomes very dry or irritated, contact your prescriber before increasing use or applying extra amounts.

Zyclin Nano Gel provides clindamycin in the exact labeled strength in each tube, but the amount applied per use is based on the doctor’s instructions, not on the tube size alone. It is typically used once or twice daily depending on the prescribed acne plan, and the doctor decides the exact frequency and duration. Do not use more often than prescribed, because using extra gel will not speed acne improvement and may increase irritation.

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

Common side effects of Clindamycin may include:

• Skin dryness
• Redness
• Mild burning or stinging
• Itching
• Peeling or flaking skin
• Oily or irritated skin at the application site

• Use only on the skin; do not take by mouth.
• Avoid applying to cuts, scrapes, eczema, or severely irritated skin unless told by a clinician.
• This product may cause dryness or peeling, so extra moisturizer may be needed if your prescriber approves.
• Stop and seek medical advice if you get significant diarrhea, since clindamycin can rarely cause a serious bowel infection.
• Keep the gel away from the eyes, lips, and mucous membranes.
• Do not use if you are allergic to clindamycin or lincomycin.
• Tell your clinician about a history of colitis or antibiotic-associated diarrhea before using Zyclin Nano Gel.

• Erythromycin topical acne products may reduce effectiveness when used together.
• Other acne treatments that irritate the skin, such as benzoyl peroxide or retinoids, may increase dryness or peeling when combined without guidance.
• Alcohol-based skin products, astringents, and harsh cleansers can worsen irritation.
• Muscle relaxant medicines are not a concern with skin use the way they are with injected clindamycin, but all medicines should still be reviewed by the prescriber.

Store Zyclin Nano Gel at room temperature in a tightly closed tube, away from heat, moisture, and direct light.
