Erytop 1% Gel

While applying Erytop 1% gel, avoid sun exposure as much as you can. In case of urgency, apply sunscreen, and wear protective clothing whenever stepping out in the sun. Sunrays can make our skin treated skin sensitive enough that it can develop dark spots. The gel is for external use only, avoid getting it into your mouth, eyes, and nose. Do not use cosmetics on your face after applying the clindamycin preparation because this ca blocks the effects of the topical formulation. Never apply the gel on a wound or broken skin.

It is advised to avoid using Erytop 1% gel if you suffer from eczema, Crohn’s disease, asthma, or an intestinal disorder. Topical clindamycin may interact with other topical preparations, including the herbal ones and alter the way your medicine works. Ensure that your dermatologist is aware of what you have been using at the time of Erytop. The pharmaceutical product is generally safe and well-tolerated by the users but consulting a skin care specialist before using clindamycin is a wise decision. Stay away from abrasive soaps/cleansers, alcohol-containing preparations, and astringents, especially during acne treatment. Hypersensitivity to Clindamycin phosphate is a contraindication. Please consult your dermatologist to check how long do you need to use this anti-acne preparation. The topical drug is not recommended for use in pregnant ladies or nursing mothers unless necessary. All the risks and benefits should be well discussed with the skincare specialist before using the medicine.
