Treclin Gel

How does Treclin work? Clindamycin is an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria that can contribute to acne. It helps reduce inflammation and control bacterial overgrowth on the skin.

Tretinoin is a retinoid, a derivative of vitamin A. It works by promoting the turnover of skin cells, preventing the plugging of hair follicles, and reducing the formation of acne lesions. Tretinoin also has anti-inflammatory properties.

The combination of clindamycin and tretinoin in Treclin helps target multiple aspects of acne, such as reducing bacterial growth, inflammation, and the formation of comedones (clogged pores).

How is Treclin used? Treclin is a topical gel that is applied to the affected areas of the skin once daily, usually in the evening. It's important to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or included with the medication. Cleanse the skin thoroughly before applying Treclin and wait for the skin to dry completely before application.

It may take several weeks of consistent use to see noticeable improvement in acne symptoms. It's important to continue using Treclin as prescribed, even if you do not see immediate results.

What are the common side effects of Treclin? Common side effects of Treclin may include skin dryness, peeling, redness, itching, and a mild burning or stinging sensation at the application site. These side effects are usually mild and temporary. If any side effects become severe or persistent, it's important to contact your healthcare provider.

Can Treclin be used by everyone? Treclin may not be suitable for everyone. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about your medical history, including any allergies or skin conditions, as well as any other medications you are taking. Your healthcare provider will determine if Treclin is appropriate for you and provide personalized advice.

Is Treclin available over the counter? Treclin is a prescription-only medication and is not available over the counter. You will need a prescription from your healthcare provider, such as your doctor, to obtain Treclin.
