Benzo 5% Gel 30gm is primarily used for managing mild to moderate acne. This topical medication is a part of the class of medicines known as keratolytic and bactericidal agents.

This gel also aids in skin exfoliation by loosening and shedding the top layer of dead skin cells that clog pores, causing blackheads and whiteheads. It also helps kill the bacteria on the skin, which contributes to acne inflammation and breakouts.

Consulting your doctor for the correct dosage and frequency of use is essential. Before starting this medicine, it's important to inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Continue using the gel for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Management of mild to moderate acne vulgaris
Reduction of inflammation and redness associated with acne
Control of excess oil on the skin

Begin by gently washing the affected area with a mild cleanser.
Pat your skin dry before applying the gel.
Apply a thin layer of the gel to acne-prone areas.
Leave the gel on for about 2 hours, then rinse it off with water. Alternatively, apply it in the evening and leave it on overnight.
After applying the gel, use a non-comedogenic moisturiser to prevent your skin from drying out excessively.
Always wash your hands after application to avoid spreading bacteria.

Skin dryness or peeling
Redness and irritation
Mild itching

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Benzo 5% Gel 30gm. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Skin dryness or peeling: Apply a non-comedogenic moisturiser after using the gel to prevent excessive drying.
Redness and irritation: Try applying the gel in the evening and leaving it on overnight to reduce daytime discomfort.

Benzo 5% Gel 30gm contains benzoyl peroxide (5%), which acts on the body as follows:

Kills Acne-Causing Bacteria: Benzoyl peroxide effectively kills Cutibacterium acnes, a type of bacteria that contributes to acne inflammation and breakouts.
Exfoliates Skin: By helping to loosen and shed the top layer of dead skin cells (keratin) and debris, benzoyl peroxide aids in unclogging pores that cause blackheads and whiteheads.
Moisturises Skin: Benzoyl peroxide may also have a soothing effect by retaining moisture in the skin, reducing irritation.

Pregnancy

Exercise caution while using Benzo 5% Gel 30gm during pregnancy. It's best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

It is important to discuss this with your doctor before using it while breastfeeding.

Alcohol

There is no known interaction between Benzo 5% Gel 30gm and alcohol. However, alcohol can dry the skin and may worsen acne, so moderate consumption is advised.

Liver

Benzo 5% Gel 30gm is not directly associated with affecting patients with liver problems. Caution is advised if you have liver health issues. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Kidney

Topical Retinoids (Vitamin A Derivatives): Combining with benzoyl peroxide may cause increased skin irritation and dryness (e.g., Tretinoin, Adapalene).
Topical Antibiotics: Generally safe but may still cause dryness when used together with Benzo 5% Gel 30gm (e.g., Clindamycin, Erythromycin).
Keratolytic Agents: Using with benzoyl peroxide may lead to enhanced peeling and irritation (e.g., Salicylic acid).
Hydrating Creams or Lotions (with strong emollients): May reduce the drying effect of benzoyl peroxide but could also lessen its efficacy (e.g., products with petrolatum or lanolin).

Drug-Food Interactions

Missed Dose

If you forget to apply Benzo 5% Gel 30gm at the scheduled time, do it as soon as you remember. But if it's nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and return to your usual schedule. Don't increase the dosage without consulting with your doctor.
