Description

Zindaclin is a topical gel used to treat acne. The active ingredient, clindamycin, works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the skin, reducing inflammation and preventing the formation of new pimples. Zindaclin is suitable for individuals struggling with mild to moderate acne.

Dosage and usage

You should apply a thin layer of Zindaclin gel to the affected skin areas once daily, preferably in the evening after washing your face. Avoid getting the gel in your eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes. It's important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions carefully. If you forget a dose, apply it as soon as you remember, unless it's almost time for your next application. Do not apply extra gel to make up for a missed dose.
