Epiduo Medical Information

This gel combines two active ingredients, Adapalene and Benzoyl peroxide which work together but in different ways: Adapalene belongs to a group of products known as retinoids and acts specifically on the skin processes that cause acne. The other active ingredient, benzoyl peroxide, works as an antimicrobial agent and by softening and peeling the outer layer of the skin.

 

Epiduo is used for the treatment of acne.

Apply a thin film of gel evenly over acne affected areas once a day at bedtime, avoiding the eyes, lips and nostrils.

The skin should be clean and dry before application.

You should wash your hands thoroughly after you have used Epiduo.

You may be asked to apply a moisturizer, to use the gel less often or to stop for a short time, or to stop using the gel altogether.

You should not use Epiduo on areas where you have cuts, scrapes, sunburn or eczema.

Make sure Epiduo does not get into your eyes, mouth or nostrils, and other very sensitive areas of the body. Should this occur wash these areas immediately with plenty of warm water.

Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight and UV lamps.

Avoid getting Epiduo on your hair or coloured fabrics as it may bleach them and wash your hands thoroughly after you have used the medicine.
