Introduction to Pretibenzyl Lotion

Pretibenzyl Lotion may be used alone or with other acne treatments. You should use it as advised by your doctor. The leaflet that comes with the product will also give instructions which you should read to get the most out of this medicine. You should normally wash and dry the affected area before applying a thin layer of gel once or twice a day. You should not apply it to damaged or broken skin and avoid contact with your mouth, eyes, and nose. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve and several months to get maximum benefit. Consult your doctor after a month of regular use of this medicine, if your condition is not improving.

Pretibenzyl Lotion has some common side effects including itching, stinging, peeling, and redness of the skin. They are not usually serious but, if they bother you or do not go away, tell your doctor. You may need to apply smaller amounts or use it less often. This medicine can make you more sensitive to sunlight. While using it you should try to avoid exposure to too much sunlight. If this is unavoidable, apply the gel in the evening. It can also bleach hair and fabrics including clothes so be careful to avoid contact with these.

It is a safe medicine, but you should tell your doctor if you have other skin conditions and if you are taking any other medicines, especially those applied to the skin. It may not be suitable if you have very sensitive skin. Ask your doctor about using this medicine if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

FAQ's on Pretibenzyl Lotion

Should Pretibenzyl be left on overnight?

At the beginning of the treatment, Pretibenzyl is usually used once daily in the evening. The area is not washed off after application of Pretibenzyl, so it can be left overnight unless you experience irritation. However, if you experience irritation, consult your doctor.

How should Pretibenzyl be applied?

You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Pretibenzyl cream on the affected skin, using your fingertips. Apply it to the entire area affected by acne, not just each spot. After applying, wash your hands thoroughly with water.

Do you apply moisturizer before or after Pretibenzyl?

You may apply moisturizer an hour after applying Pretibenzyl. Consult your doctor in case of any doubt or concern.

How long does Pretibenzyl take to show its effects?

You may see an improvement after 4-6 weeks of treatment. You may need to use this treatment for longer to see the full benefits. This is normal for acne treatments. If your acne does not get better after 1 month or if it gets worse, talk to your doctor immediately.

How often should I apply Pretibenzyl?

The initial dose is preferably once daily in the evening. Later, the doctor will gradually increase the dose to twice daily (most probably morning and evening).

What precautions should be followed while applying Pretibenzyl?

Use Pretibenzyl only on your skin. Keep it away from areas like your eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and inside of the nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, wash the affected area with water immediately. Avoid using Pretibenzyl on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds. Take care when using Pretibenzyl on sensitive areas of skin such as your neck. Pretibenzyl can make your skin more sensitive to the harmful effects of the sunlight. So, avoid the use of sunbeds/lamps and minimize the time you spend in the sun. You should use sunscreen and wear protective clothing while using Pretibenzyl. Avoid contact with hair as Pretibenzyl has bleaching properties. It can even bleach dyed or colored fabric, furniture or carpeting.

What should prompt me to discontinue Pretibenzyl?

You should discontinue Pretibenzyl and consult your doctor if you experience severe local irritation, which means severe redness, dryness and itching and stinging/burning sensation.
