Description

Cinamycin Plus Gel is a combination of lincosamide antibiotic Clindamycin phosphate and retinoid Tretinoin. Clindamycin binds with the 50s ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria and prevents elongation of peptide chain by interfering with the peptidyl transfer, thereby suppressing bacterial protein synthesis. Clindamycin inhibits the activity of Propionibacterium acne as reduces the occurrence of acne. Tretinoin decreases the cohesiveness of follicular epithelial cells and increases the turn over thereby brings the comedones out.

Cinamycin Plus Gel: Each gram gel contains Clindamycin phosphate USP 12 mg and Tretinoin USP 0.25 mg.

Cinamycin Plus Gel is indicated for the the topical treatment of Acne vulgaris in patients 12 years or older.

Pregnancy Category C. It is not known whether Clindamycin or Tretinoin is excreted in human milk. Caution should be exercised when Gel is administered to a nursing woman.

Concomitant use of other potentially irritating topical products (medicated or abrasive soaps and cleansers, soaps and cosmetics that have a strong drying effect, products with high concentrations of alcohol, astringents, spices or lime) should be approached with caution. While using concomitantly with Erythromycin, the activity of both Clindamycin and Erythromycin are decreased. So, Clindamycin should not be used with Erythromycin concomitantly. While using concomitantly with neuromuscular medicine, the activity of the neuromuscular medicine is increased. So, care should be taken during these concomitant uses.
