Peroxiben 100 mg/g Topical Gel 30 g

It is a medicated gel for topical use formulated with 100 mg/g of benzoyl peroxide, an active ingredient with antimicrobial and sebostatic properties that stops the growth of Propionibacterium acne, a microorganism that causes acne.

It comes in a tube containing 30 grams of product at a concentration of 100mg/g.

Designed for adults and adolescents over 12 years of age who suffer from moderate acne vulgaris.

Wash and dry the skin before applying a small amount of gel to the area to be treated. It can be used once or twice a day, depending on skin tolerance and intensity of treatment.

It is recommended to start the medication with Peroxiben 2.5%, as it contains the lowest dose of this active ingredient. Once tolerance has been checked, it is possible to switch to Peroxiben 5%, or even to 10% mg if after 3-4 weeks the skin accepts the product well.

Improvement is usually seen after the first 4-6 weeks of treatment, although longer use may be necessary.

Do not use Peroxiben 5%:

• In children under 12 years of age.

• In case of allergy to the active substance or any of the excipients present in this medicinal product.

• On areas of damaged or eczematous skin, or on cuts or abrasions.

Special care should be taken by people with very sensitive skin, as its use may cause skin irritation and some redness.

Do not use if pregnant or breastfeeding, unless prescribed by a doctor.

Increased scaling, redness, itching and itching may occur during the first few weeks in most patients, which usually disappears with discontinuation of treatment.

• Rare: allergic dermatitis.

• Unknown frequency: temporary facial swelling, dermatitis or rash.
