Adapalene Gel Information:

Indication:

• Adapalene gel is indicated for the topical treatment of moderately severe acne vulgaris.

Dosage and Administration:

• Apply Adapalene gel once daily at night to the affected areas of the skin, avoiding the eyes and lips.
• Clean and dry the skin before application.
• Apply a thin film of the gel to areas with acne lesions, covering the entire affected areas lightly.
• A mild transitory sensation of warmth or slight stinging may occur shortly after application.
• Therapeutic results should be noticeable after 8 to 12 weeks of treatment.

Warnings and Precautions:

• Cutaneous signs such as erythema, dryness, scaling, burning, or pruritus may appear. Adjust frequency or discontinue use based on severity.
• Avoid contact with eyes, lips, angles of the nose, and mucous membranes. Wash with warm water in case of accidental exposure.
• Moisturizers may be used if necessary, but avoid products containing alpha-hydroxy glycolic acid.
• Do not apply to cuts, abrasions, or sunburned skin. Wait for complete recovery before continuing administration.
• Minimize sunlight exposure during Adapalene application. Use sunscreens and protective clothing when exposure cannot be avoided.
• Safety for children under 12 years old is not established.
• Apply the gel at night.
• The gel is for topical application only, not for ophthalmic, oral, or intravaginal use.
• During the early weeks of therapy, an apparent exacerbation of acne may occur, but it should not be a reason to discontinue therapy.

Contraindications:

• Do not administer to individuals hypersensitive to Adapalene or any components in the gel vehicle.

Pregnancy and Lactation:

• Use during pregnancy only if potential benefits justify potential risks to the fetus.
• Exercise caution when administering to nursing women, as it is not known if Adapalene is excreted in human milk.
