Acnesone Gel Strength: 7.5%

Acnesone Gel is a topical dermatological formulation containing 7.5% Dapsone, manufactured by Incepta Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Priced at ৳150.00 per unit, this Gel is specifically indicated for treating acne vulgaris by reducing bacterial growth and inflammation.

The primary mechanism of Dapsone in acne management remains unclear, though its broad-spectrum antibacterial properties target Cutibacterium acnes. Apply a pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin once daily (7.5% strength) in thin layers. If no improvement occurs within 12 weeks, reconsider therapy.

Key precautions include temporary skin discoloration when used with benzoyl peroxide and elevated systemic absorption with TMP/SMX. Severe side effects like methemoglobinemia and hemolysis in G6PD-deficient patients require immediate discontinuation.

Storage instructions emphasize keeping the gel below 30°C, away from moisture and light. Pregnant women (Category C) and lactating mothers should weigh risks versus benefits before use due to potential fetal toxicity and milk secretion.
