Adapco 0.1% Gel is a medication used to treat acne. It contains Adapalene, which is a retinoid-like compound that works by preventing the formation of new acne pimples and promoting the healing of existing ones.
Adapco 0.1% Gel is typically applied to the affected areas of the skin once a day in the evening, after washing and drying the skin thoroughly. The gel should be applied in a thin layer and gently rubbed into the skin until it is fully absorbed.
Common side effects of Adapco 0.1% Gel may include dryness, redness, scaling, or peeling of the skin. These side effects are usually mild and tend to improve as the skin becomes accustomed to the medication. It is important to avoid exposure to sunlight or artificial UV light, as Adapco 0.1% Gel can increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight and increase the risk of sunburn.
Adapco 0.1% Gel comes in a 15g tube and should be stored at room temperature, away from heat and moisture. It is important to avoid using Adapco 0.1% Gel on damaged or sunburned skin, as this can increase the risk of side effects.
If you have any concerns about the use of Adapco 0.1% Gel or experience any adverse effects, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider or dermatologist immediately. They can provide guidance on the appropriate use of the medication and can help to monitor your skin's response over time.
