Capgel Plus Gel belongs to the class of dermatological preparations called 'antiacne' used to treat acne (pimples). Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become blocked with dead skin cells and oil. The acne-causing bacteria feeds on sebum (natural oil produced by skin), causing redness and swelling.

Capgel Plus Gel is a combination of Adapalene, a human-made vitamin A, Clindamycin, an antibiotic, and Zinc acetate. Adapalene works by loosening the cells on the skin’s surface and unblocks pores by reducing the production of oil in the skin, thereby reducing the formation of pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads on the skin surface. Clindamycin belongs to the class of antibiotics that works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers, stopping or slowing down the growth of bacteria and preventing the growth of acne. Zinc acetate, an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, helps reduce inflammation, prevent infection, and promote wound healing, while also regulating oil production and preventing comedones formation, reducing acne severity.

Capgel Plus Gel is only for external use. Take a small amount of Capgel Plus Gel on the finger and apply it as a thin layer on the clean and dry affected area. Avoid contact of Capgel Plus Gel with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case Capgel Plus Gel comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with warm water thoroughly. Your doctor will advise you how often you use Capgel Plus Gel based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience skin peeling, dry skin, irritation, redness, itching, or burning sensation at the site of application. Most of these side effects of Capgel Plus Gel do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

If you are known to be allergic to Capgel Plus Gel or any of its components, please tell your doctor. Do not apply Capgel Plus Gel to cuts, open wounds, broken, sunburnt or sensitive areas of skin.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, please inform your doctor before taking Capgel Plus Gel. Do not apply Capgel Plus Gel in large amounts or use for a long time than prescribed as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects such as redness, irritation, skin peeling, or discomfort. If you have intestine problems or eczema, please inform your doctor before using Capgel Plus Gel.
