Deriva CMS Gel

Product Overview

DERIVA CMS GEL is a medication containing the active ingredients Adapalene and Clindamycin Phosphate. It is a topical gel formulation designed to treat acne vulgaris, a common skin condition characterized by pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads.

Uses

DERIVA CMS GEL is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 12 years of age and older. It helps to reduce the number of acne lesions, prevent new acne formation, and improve overall skin appearance.

How to Use

Apply a thin layer of DERIVA CMS GEL to the affected areas of the skin once daily, preferably in the evening, after cleansing and drying the skin thoroughly. Avoid contact with the eyes, lips, nostrils, and mucous membranes. Wash hands after application.

How it Works

Adapalene, a retinoid, works by normalizing the shedding of skin cells and preventing the formation of comedones (clogged pores). Clindamycin Phosphate is an antibiotic that helps to reduce the growth of acne-causing bacteria on the skin, thereby reducing inflammation and preventing new acne lesions.

Dosage and Administration

Use DERIVA CMS GEL as directed by your healthcare provider. Apply a pea-sized amount to the affected areas once daily. Avoid excessive use, as it may increase the risk of skin irritation. Consult your doctor for personalized dosage recommendations.
