Benclin gel: uses, benefits, side effects and price in Pakistan

Benclin 1%/5% Gel, marketed under the brand name Sante, is a topical medication primarily indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate acne. Composed of Clindamycin (1%) and Benzoyl Peroxide (5%), this gel offers a dual-action approach to combating bacterial infections commonly associated with acne.

Uses:

Some uses of Benclin gel are:

• Treatment of Mild to Moderate Acne:
  It takes care of wounds, papules, pustules, and, in serious cases, nodules and cysts of acne vulgaris.
• Management of Bacterial Infections:
  Clindamycin in this gel targets Propionibacterium acnes, which stops the growth of bacteria and reduces the swelling and redness that come with acne.
• Anti-Acne Preparations:
  Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide, which are both found in it, work together to remove dead skin cells and open up pores, which stops new acne lesions from appearing.
• Management of acne-related inflammation:
  Clindamycin’s anti-inflammatory properties aid in reducing the redness, swelling, and discomfort caused by acne lesions.
• Adjunctive Therapy for Acne:
  It can be used alone or in combination with other topical or systemic medications to enhance acne treatment outcomes.
