Quick tips

Nax B Gel

  • You have been prescribed Nax B Gel for the treatment of acne.
  • It is recommended that you use a mild soap and lukewarm water to wash with, as very hot or cold water may worsen acne. Do not wash more than you normally do.
  • Apply a thin layer on the affected area. It may cause minor burning, stinging, or irritation when applied. Inform your doctor if this does not go away.
  • Avoid contact with your eyes, nose, or mouth. Rinse it off with water if you accidentally get the cream in these areas.
  • During your treatment, your doctor may ask you to use another (non-antibiotic) skin preparation from time to time. It is important that you follow your doctor's advice, as this is to help prevent your acne from becoming resistant to treatment.
  • You may have to use it for a long time before your acne starts to improve. Be patient and keep using it every day. If, however, your skin has not improved even after completing the prescribed time, consult your doctor.

Dear Sir/Madam, I am having an acne prone skin and have few acnes and scars on my face. 2 days ago, I consulted a dermatologist and the gave me a gel named 'nax-b'. I noticed a significant improvement in my pimples size and scars. But, since that day(the day I consulates the doc) my skin around my nose ( basically along the line which runs across the nose to mouth or say around the nasolabial fold). So my question is why is my skin getting drier and drier near the nasolabial fold? Has it something to do with my medicine? How can I cure it??

FAQs

Nax B Gel

Can I use Nax B Gel as a spot treatment (single pimple)?

It is not a spot treatment and should not be used to treat a single pimple. Nax B Gel should be applied to the entire face. Using it once every day can treat your acne.

How long does Nax B Gel take to work?

It may take up to 2-3 weeks before your symptoms improve. Nax B Gel may take some time to deliver significant results. Use the medicine as directed and tell your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they get worse.
