Paknet Creamy Wash is primarily used to manage mild to moderate acne. This medicine falls into the category of topical antibacterial medications.

In addition to its principal use for acne vulgaris, it also aids in reducing the number of harmful acne-causing bacteria, known as Cutibacterium acnes. It's a suitable treatment for both adults and children over 12 years of age, and it can be used alone or in conjunction with other acne treatments.

Before starting your course, it's essential to consult your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications. If you notice any side effects while using this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, it's crucial to continue using the cream for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

Paknet Creamy Wash is used for the following:

Management of mild to moderate acne conditions.
Reduction of spots or pimples on the face, chest or back.
Control of acne vulgaris by targeting the acne-causing bacteria Cutibacterium acnes.
Prevention of new pimple formation by unclogging blocked pores.
Improvement in skin condition through its keratolytic effect, which causes the skin to dry and peel.

Directions for Use of Paknet Creamy Wash 50gm

Make sure you follow these steps while using Paknet Creamy Wash:

Wet your skin before application.
Apply a thin layer of the creamy wash to areas prone to acne using your fingertips.
Massage gently into the skin for 1-2 minutes.
Rinse thoroughly with water and pat your skin dry after application.
If you experience any excessive dryness or peeling, reduce usage frequency.
Always remember to wash your hands after use.

Consult your doctor for any specific advice regarding its use.

Paknet Creamy Wash is applied topically.

Using Paknet Creamy Wash may lead to the following side effects:

Skin irritation
Redness
Burning or stinging sensation
Dryness
Peeling of treated skin

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve on discontinuing the use of Paknet Creamy Wash. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are a couple of tips for managing common side effects:

Skin irritation: Try applying Paknet Creamy Wash at night before sleeping to reduce daytime discomfort.
Dryness: Consider using an oil-free moisturiser after washing off Paknet Creamy Wash to maintain skin hydration.

Paknet Creamy Wash contains Benzoyl Peroxide (4%), which has several significant actions on your body:

Oxidising Agent: Benzoyl peroxide acts as an oxidising agent, generating free radicals that oxidise bacterial proteins. This process decreases the count of C. acnes bacteria.
Keratolytic Effect: This means it promotes the shedding of the outer layer of your skin. By doing so, it helps unclog blocked pores.
Anti-Inflammatory Action: Benzoyl peroxide has a mild anti-inflammatory effect that helps reduce swelling and redness.
Comedolytic Activity: This action reduces the formation of comedones (also known as blackheads and whiteheads), helping prevent new pimples from forming.

These mechanisms ensure that Paknet Creamy Wash effectively manages existing acne lesions and prevents new ones from forming.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while using Paknet Creamy Wash if you are pregnant. It's best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Although it's not known if topical benzoyl peroxide is excreted in human milk, caution is advised while using Paknet Creamy Wash if you are breastfeeding. Kindly consult with your doctor first.

Alcohol

The interaction between Paknet Creamy Wash and alcohol isn't typically a concern as it's a topical product. However, for any concerns, do consult your doctor.

Liver

As a topical product, Paknet Creamy Wash rarely interacts with liver health. Still, if you have any liver health issues, it is advisable to discuss this with your doctor before using this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Paknet Creamy Wash is a topical medication and does not affect your ability to drive or operate machinery.

If you are allergic to benzoyl peroxide or any other ingredient in the formulation, avoid using Paknet Creamy Wash. If you experience symptoms like trouble breathing, hives, itching or swelling of the face, lips or tongue, seek medical help immediately.

Children

Paknet Creamy Wash is not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.
