Using Waigamicin A Gel 15gmmight cause some side effects. These can include:

Skin discomfort
Scaling: This refers to the flaking or peeling of your skin's outermost layer.
Redness
Dry skin
Burning sensation
Skin irritation

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolves on discontinuing the use of Alight Plus Gel. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some tips to manage common side effects:

Skin discomfort: Applying this gel in the evening, just before bedtime, could reduce daytime discomfort.

Waigamicin A Gel 15gmconsists of two active ingredients:

Clindamycin (1%): A lincosamide antibiotic, clindamycin inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria by binding to specific parts of bacterial cells called 50S ribosomal subunits. It is effective against Propionibacterium acnes, a bacterium associated with acne development.
Adapalene (0.1%): This retinoid-like compound works by binding to specific receptors in your skin cells called retinoic acid receptors (gamma and beta). These receptors play a crucial role in controlling skin cell growth and inflammation, both of which are involved in acne development. Adapalene's action leads to reduced formation of microcomedones (tiny skin blockages), one of the first stages of acne lesion development, and decreased skin inflammation.
