Benzaclin Gel

Generic Name: Clindamycin/Benzoyl Peroxide Gel (90-Day Storage) (klin-da-MYE-sin/BEN-zoe-il per-OX-ide)
Brand Name: Benzaclin

Benzaclin Gel is used for:

Treating acne.

Benzaclin Gel is an antibiotic and drying agent combination. It works by stopping the bacterial infection that causes acne.

Do NOT use Benzaclin Gel if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Benzaclin Gel or to lincomycin
you have a history of Crohn disease, ulcerative colitis, regional enteritis, pseudomembranous colitis, or an inflammation of the colon caused by antibiotics
you are using products that contain erythromycin

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Benzaclin Gel:

Some medical conditions may interact with Benzaclin Gel. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
if you are taking any prescription or nonprescription medicine, herbal preparation, or dietary supplement
if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have a stomach or intestinal disease

Some MEDICINES MAY INTERACT with Benzaclin Gel. Because little, if any, of Benzaclin Gel is absorbed into the blood, the risk of it interacting with another medicine is low.

Ask your health care provider if Benzaclin Gel may interact with other medicines that you take. Check with your health care provider before you start, stop, or change the dose of any medicine.

How to use Benzaclin Gel:

Use Benzaclin Gel as directed by your doctor. Check the label on the medicine for exact dosing instructions.

Use Benzaclin Gel on a regular schedule to get the most benefit from it.
Before applying Benzaclin Gel to the affected areas, gently wash and rinse the skin with warm water and pat dry. Apply a thin film of medicine to the affected skin and rub in as directed by your doctor. Wash your hands immediately after using Benzaclin Gel.
Continue using Benzaclin Gel for the full course of treatment.
If you miss a dose of Benzaclin Gel, use it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not use 2 doses at once.

Ask your health care provider any questions you may have about how to use Benzaclin Gel.

Important safety information:

Benzaclin Gel is for external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If you get Benzaclin Gel in your eyes, rinse them immediately with cool water.
Benzaclin Gel may bleach hair or colored fabric. Avoid getting Benzaclin Gel in your hair or on your clothes.
Contact your doctor right away if stomach pain or cramps, severe diarrhea, or bloody stools occur. Do not treat diarrhea without first checking with your doctor. These symptoms may occur weeks after stopping the use of Benzaclin Gel. Do not use anti-diarrhea products or narcotic pain medicines if you have these symptoms. These medicines may make the symptoms worse. Your doctor will monitor you closely while you are using Benzaclin Gel.
Once you begin using Benzaclin Gel, it may take several weeks before you begin to see improvement. If your symptoms do not improve by 11 weeks or if they become worse, check with your doctor.
Talk with your doctor before you use any other topical acne medicines or cleansers on your skin.
Do not use Benzaclin Gel for other conditions at a later time.
Benzaclin Gel may cause you to become sunburned more easily. Avoid the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know how you react to Benzaclin Gel. Use a sunscreen or wear protective clothing if you must be outside for more than a short time.
Long-term or repeated use of Benzaclin Gel may cause a second infection. Your doctor may want to change your medication to treat the second infection. Contact your doctor if signs of a second infection occur.
It is important to use Benzaclin Gel for the full course of treatment. Failure to do so may decrease the effectiveness of this treatment and may increase the risk that the bacteria will no longer be sensitive to Benzaclin Gel and will not be able to be treated by this or certain other antibiotics in the future.
Benzaclin Gel should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 12 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.
PREGNANCY and BREAST-FEEDING: If you become pregnant, contact your doctor. You will need to discuss the benefits and risks of using Benzaclin Gel while you are pregnant. It is not known if Benzaclin Gel is found in breast milk after topical use. Do not breast-feed while using Benzaclin Gel.
