About Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm
Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm belongs to the class of medication called ‘antibacterial’ primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections like acne (pimples). Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm is an organic compound with an irritant, keratolytic (remove warts, calluses), comedolytic (inhibits the formation of blemishes), and anti-inflammatory activity. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells.
Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm contains ‘Benzoyl Peroxide’ that kills bacteria, reduces inflammation and unplugs blocked pores. Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm decomposes to release oxygen when applied to the skin. This oxygen acts as a bactericidal agent and kills Propionibacterium acnes, the bacteria that causes acne. Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm increases the turnover rate of epithelial cells (cells that line the surface of the skin), eventually helps in peeling the skin and treating comedones (skin-coloured, small bumps due to acne). Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm also has a mild drying effect that allows excess oils and dirt to be washed away from the skin.
Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, rinse with water immediately. Do not use Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm on sunburned, windburned, dry, or irritated skin. Common side effects of Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm include dry skin, erythema (skin redness), burning sensation, itching, skin irritation, swelling, blistering, crusting, and skin rash.
Let your doctor know if you use any prescription and non-prescription medications you are taking, including vitamins, before starting Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm. Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm or its components like propylene glycol that may cause skin irritation. Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm can make the skin more sensitive in the sunlight, hence always use sunscreen and protective clothing before you step outdoors. Care should be taken while applying Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm on sensitive areas, such as the neck. Avoid Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm contact with hair or fabrics since it has bleaching properties. Please limit the use of products that contain large amounts of alcohol (astringents, shaving creams or after-shave lotions), hair removal products, and products containing lime or spices while using Persol AC 5 Gel 30 gm. It is essential to let your doctor know if you are pregnant, planning to conceive or a breastfeeding mother.
