About Adozit Gel 15 gm

Adozit Gel 15 gm belongs to the class of dermatological preparations called ‘antiacne’ used to treat acne (pimples) in patients 12 years or older. Acne is a common skin condition and occurs when hair follicles are blocked with dead skin cells and oil. The acne-causing bacteria feeds on sebum (natural oil produced by skin) causing redness and swelling.

Adozit Gel 15 gm contains Adapalene which belongs to the class of retinoids (human-made vitamin A). It works by loosening the cells on the skin’s surface and unblocks pores by reducing oil production in the skin. Thereby, decreases pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads.

Use Adozit Gel 15 gm as prescribed. Adozit Gel 15 gm is only for external use. Avoid contact of Adozit Gel 15 gm with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case Adozit Gel 15 gm comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with warm water thoroughly. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Adozit Gel 15 gm based on your medical condition. You may experience dry skin, irritation, redness, or burning sensation of the skin in some cases.
