GLOCIN GEL 30 GM
GLOCIN GEL 30 GM is a topical medication manufactured by Glowderma Lab Pvt. Ltd., designed for the treatment of acne.
Composition
GLOCIN GEL contains two active ingredients:
- Clindamycin (1% w/w): An antibiotic that works by penetrating the skin and inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
- Nicotinamide (4% w/w) (also known as Vitamin B3): Possesses anti-inflammatory properties, which help to reduce the swelling, redness, and tenderness associated with acne.
Uses
GLOCIN GEL is primarily prescribed for the treatment of mild to moderate acne vulgaris (pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads) on the face, back, and chest. It helps to:
- Reduce excessive oil production.
- Unclog skin pores.
- Decrease inflammation and prevent future breakouts.
- Improve the overall appearance and health of the skin.
Dosage and Administration
GLOCIN GEL is for external use only.
- Clean and dry the affected area thoroughly before application.
- Apply a thin layer of the gel over the affected parts of the skin, usually once or twice daily, or as directed by your doctor.
- Gently rub the gel into the skin until it is fully absorbed.
- Wash hands thoroughly before and after application, unless the hands are the treated area.
- Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse immediately with water.
- It may take several days or weeks to see noticeable improvements; complete the full course of treatment as prescribed for optimal results. Do not apply to the face for more than 5 days unless directed by a physician.
Side Effects
Common side effects may include:
- Application site redness, itching, burning sensation, or irritation.
- Dryness or peeling of the skin.
- Scaly skin.
- Sensitivity to sunlight.
Serious side effects are rare but may include severe burning or stinging, blistering, or significant skin swelling. Consult your doctor if side effects persist or worsen, or if you experience allergic reactions like rash, hives, or swelling.
Precautions
- Allergy: Do not use if allergic to Clindamycin, Nicotinamide, or any other components of the gel.
- External Use Only: Avoid oral, ophthalmic, or intravaginal use.
- Skin Irritation: Do not apply to cut, scraped, sunburnt, or eczema-affected skin.
- Sunlight Sensitivity: GLOCIN GEL may increase skin sensitivity to sunlight; use sunscreen and protective clothing when outdoors.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Use with caution and consult a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Children: Not recommended for use in children below 12 years of age as safety and efficacy data are not available.
- Other Medications: Inform your doctor about all other topical anti-acne agents, cosmetics, or skin products containing alcohol being used, as they may increase irritation.
- Overuse: Do not overuse, as it can lead to over-absorption and potentially cause severe diarrhea or colitis.
Storage
Store GLOCIN GEL at a temperature below 25°C or below 30°C, in its original container, tightly closed, and away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep out of sight and reach of children.

GLOCIN GEL 30 GM: Frequently Asked Questions
What is Glocin Gel used for?
Glocin Gel is primarily used to treat mild to moderate acne, commonly known as pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. It helps reduce excessive oil production, inflammation, and the growth of acne-causing bacteria on the skin.
How does Glocin Gel work?
Glocin Gel contains two active ingredients: Clindamycin and Nicotinamide. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that penetrates the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria by inhibiting their protein synthesis. Nicotinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, has anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce the swelling, redness, and tenderness associated with acne, and also aids in regulating sebum (oil) production.
What is the usual dosage for Glocin Gel?
Apply a thin layer of Glocin Gel to the affected areas of clean, dry skin once daily, or as directed by your doctor. It is often recommended to use it at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Glocin Gel is for external use only.
What are the possible side effects of Glocin Gel?
Common side effects include dryness, burning sensation, redness (erythema), scaling, peeling, itching, and irritation at the application site. If applied in large amounts, systemic absorption can occur, potentially leading to less common side effects such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. Consult your doctor if these side effects persist or worsen.
Is Glocin Gel safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Glocin Gel is generally not recommended for use during pregnancy, and you should discuss all potential risks and benefits with your doctor. While generally considered safe during breastfeeding as it's not believed to pass into breast milk in significant amounts, it is still advised to consult your doctor before using this medicine.
Can Glocin Gel be taken with other medications?
Since Glocin Gel is applied topically, it is less likely to interact with systemic medications. However, avoid using it concurrently with other topical anti-acne agents, certain cosmetics, skin products containing alcohol (like shaving creams), and medicated soaps without consulting your doctor, as this can increase skin irritation, dryness, or peeling. It may also enhance the effect of neuromuscular blocking agents used during surgery.
What precautions should be taken while using Glocin Gel?
Glocin Gel is for external use only. Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, mouth, mucous membranes, or open wounds; rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs. Do not apply the gel to broken, scraped, sunburnt, or eczema-affected skin. It may increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight, so use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Do not overuse or apply more than the recommended amount. It is not recommended for children under 12 years of age.
What happens if a dose of Glocin Gel is missed?
If you miss an application of Glocin Gel, apply it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed one and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not apply a double amount to make up for a missed dose.
How should Glocin Gel be stored?
Store Glocin Gel in its original container in a clean, dry place, protected from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight. The recommended storage temperature is typically below 25°C or 30°C. Keep this medicine out of the sight and reach of children and pets.
How long does it take for Glocin Gel to show results?
It may take several days to weeks to see noticeable improvement in your skin condition. It is important to continue using Glocin Gel regularly and complete the full course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor, even if your acne appears to worsen before it gets better.
