Epiduo Forte Gel

Epiduo Forte Gel Description

Epiduo Forte 0.3% / 2.5% gel combines two powerful acne treatments: Adapalene and Benzoyl Peroxide. Adapalene, a form of Vitamin A, works alongside Benzoyl Peroxide, a keratolytic drug, to effectively treat acne (pimples).

These ingredients work together to prevent the build-up of sebum (the skin’s natural oil), unblock pores, and promote natural exfoliation of the skin’s outer layers. Benzoyl Peroxide also penetrates the skin to kill acne-causing bacteria.

Uses

Epiduo Forte Gel effectively treats acne by reducing excessive oil production in the skin.

Side Effects

• Skin peeling
• Skin irritation
• Dry skin
• Burning sensation at the application site
• Erythema (skin redness)

Dosage of Epiduo Forte Gel

Use this medicine externally, as directed by your doctor. Check the label for specific instructions before applying. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply the gel. After application, wash your hands unless they are also being treated.

Instructions for Use

Apply it gently to the acne-affected area once a day, preferably in the evening before bedtime. Ensure your skin is clean and dry before use. Always wash your hands before and after application.

FAQs

Does it matter when I use Epiduo Forte Gel?

You can use it either in the morning or evening, or as directed by your doctor. For best results, apply it at the same time each day to maintain consistency.

How much should I use?

Follow your doctor’s instructions. Typically, a pea-sized amount evenly distributed over each affected area of the face is ideal. Using more than the recommended amount will not speed up the process and is not recommended for targeted treatment. Stick to the correct amount and be consistent.

What if I forget to use it?

Missing a day of treatment can lead to the formation of new pimples beneath the skin’s surface. To avoid this, make it a part of your daily routine. If you miss a day, resume your regular application the next day with the usual pea-sized amount for each affected area.
