Indications of Lindamax Plus Gel

Clindamycin with Tretinoin gel is used to treat acne vulgaris on a topical basis.

Pharmacology of Lindamax Plus Gel

Clindamycin phosphate, a lincosamide antibiotic, is combined with Tretinoin, a retinoid. Clindamycin binds to the 50s ribosomal subunit of sensitive bacteria, preventing peptide chain elongation and decreasing bacterial protein synthesis by interfering with peptidyl transfer. Clindamycin lowers the occurrence of acne by inhibiting the activities of Propionibacterium acne. Tretinoin reduces the cohesion of follicular epithelial cells and enhances turn over, causing comedones to emerge.

In the morning: Apply a sunscreen after the application of Gel. Do not wash your face more than 2 or 3 times a day. Apply the sunscreen cream as needed.

Safety and effectiveness in children below 12 years of age have not been established.

Interaction of Lindamax Plus Gel

Other potentially irritating topical preparations (medicated or abrasive soaps and cleansers, soaps and cosmetics with a strong drying effect, products with high concentrations of alcohol, astringents, spices, or lime) should be used with caution when used together.

When Clindamycin and Erythromycin are used together, the action of both drugs is reduced. Clindamycin should not be taken with Erythromycin at the same time.

When used in conjunction with neuromuscular medication, the neuromuscular medicine’s activity is boosted. As a result, caution should be exercised when using these products together.
