Sebonac Gel 30 Gm

SEBONAC GEL 30 GM by GLOWDERMA LAB PVT. LTD.

Sebonac Gel is a topical medication designed for the treatment and prevention of various skin conditions, primarily acne.

• Composition: Sebonac Gel contains Salicylic Acid (1% w/w) as its primary active ingredient. It also includes other beneficial components such as Zinc Gluconate, Magnesium Aspartate, Copper Gluconate, Alpha Bisabolol Natural, Allantoin, and Aloe Vera, which contribute to its soothing and healing properties.

• Uses: This gel is prescribed for managing acne, including pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads, by stopping the growth of acne-causing bacteria. It also works by exfoliating the skin, reducing oil production, unplugging blocked pores, and decreasing inflammation. Sebonac Gel may also be used in conditions involving scaling or overgrowths of skin cells, such as psoriasis. Regular use can help improve skin texture and minimize the risk of scarring.

• Dosage and Administration: Sebonac Gel is for external use only. The affected area should be cleansed and dried before applying a thin layer of the gel. Typically, it is applied once daily in the evening, though a doctor may gradually increase the dose to twice daily (morning and evening). It can usually be left overnight. Wash hands thoroughly after application, unless the hands are the treated area.

• Side Effects: Common side effects include itching, stinging, peeling, redness (erythema), dryness, irritation, and a burning sensation of the skin. If these effects persist or worsen, or if severe local irritation occurs (severe redness, dryness, itching, burning), discontinue use and consult a doctor.

• Precautions: Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth, nose, genitals, open wounds, or irritated/sunburned skin. Rinse immediately with water if accidental contact occurs. Sebonac Gel can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight; therefore, use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors, and avoid sunbeds. It can also bleach hair and fabrics. A patch test is recommended for sensitive skin. Consult a doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and dark place, preferably below 25°C or 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep out of sight and reach of children. Do not freeze.

Common side effects may include a stinging sensation, skin peeling, itching, erythema (skin redness), dry skin, and a burning sensation. These side effects are usually not serious.
