About Klinspec Cream

Klinspec Cream is used to treat acne (pimples). Acne is a skin condition caused by hair follicles being plugged with oil and dead skin cells. Symptoms include blackheads, pus-filled pimples, and large/red bumps. 

Klinspec Cream contains 'Clindamycin', which works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which stops bacterial growth. It also has a bacteriostatic effect, which prevents the multiplication of bacteria.

Klinspec Cream is for external (for skin) use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, and mouth. Like all medicines, Klinspec Cream also causes side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects of Klinspec Cream include burning sensation, itching, dryness, redness, oily skin, and peeling of the skin. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
