Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel

Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel is used to treat acne (pimples) and remove the skin's upper dead layer. Acne is a common skin condition and occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil. The acne-causing bacteria feeds on sebum (natural oil produced by skin), causing redness and swelling. Take Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel as prescribed. Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel is only for external use. Avoid contact of Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with warm water thoroughly. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel based on your medical condition. You may experience dry skin, scaling, local skin rash, irritation, redness, or burning sensation of the skin in some cases. Most of these side effects of Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Do not apply Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel on cuts, open wounds, scrapes, sunburned, windburned, chapped, dry, or irritated skin. Avoid exposure to tanning beds or sunlight while using Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel as it may make the skin more sensitive to sunlight and cause sunburn. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen while going out to protect your skin from sunburn. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel. Do not apply Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel in large amounts or use it for a longer time than prescribed, as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects such as irritation, scaling, or redness of the skin. If you have eczema (itchy, swollen, rough, and cracked skin) or sunburned skin, please inform your doctor before taking Epiduo 0.1%/2.5% Gel.
