FAQ's on Acnesone Gel

How should Acnesone gel be applied?

Wash and pat dry the area where you want to apply Acnesone gel. Apply a pea-sized amount of gel in a thin layer to the areas of your skin that have acne. Rub it gently and completely. It may feel gritty and you may see particles in the gel. Remember to wash your hands after applying the gel.

Can Acnesone cause anemia?

Patients with deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) have a greater risk of developing low hemoglobin level while using this medicine. But using the gel on the skin does not put enough Acnesone in the blood to cause clinical symptoms of hemolytic anemia (breakdown of red blood cells).

Is Acnesone an immunosuppressant or a steroid?
