Aknemycin Plus Solution Description
Aknemycin Plus Solution is a treatment applied to the skin for acne on the face.
It contains two active ingredients, an antibiotic and a retinoid, which work together.
Apply a thin layer of the solution to your face once or twice daily.

What is Aknemycin Plus Solution?

Aknemycin Plus Solution is a treatment for acne that you apply directly to your face. It has two powerful ingredients that tackle acne in different ways, and it comes with a handy applicator for use once or twice daily.

Aknemycin Plus Solution is effective for both inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne. It helps reduce breakouts and spots, keeping your skin looking healthy and clear. This treatment is strong and effective, and it also helps prevent future breakouts.

How does Aknemycin Plus Solution work?

Aknemycin Plus Solution has two active ingredients: 4% erythromycin and 0.025% tretinoin. Erythromycin is an antibiotic that eliminates the bacteria responsible for acne and prevents new bacteria from forming. It's a macrolide antibiotic, which also helps reduce inflammation, so it helps prevent your skin from getting too red and irritated.

Tretinoin is a retinoid, a form of vitamin A that helps clear acne spots on your face. It does this by attaching to hormone receptors in the skin, encouraging healthy cell growth. Additionally, it unclogs your pores, removing blackheads and preventing new spots from appearing. Together, these actions help treat acne and prevent further breakouts.

How often should I use Aknemycin Plus Solution?

You should apply Aknemycin Plus Solution once or twice daily. Your clinician will advise you on the exact frequency based on your symptoms, how you respond to the treatment, and your medical history and needs. If you discuss your acne and health with us, we can assist you in finding the best treatment and routine for you.

How long does it take Aknemycin Plus Solution to work?

Aknemycin Plus Solution begins to work on your skin quite quickly, but it might take a bit longer to see the full benefits in treating your acne. If you haven't noticed any improvement after nine to twelve weeks, it's a good idea to talk to our clinician. You might require a different or stronger treatment for your acne.

What should I do if I make a mistake when using Aknemycin Plus Solution?

Avoid applying Aknemycin Plus Solution close to your nose, mouth, eyes, or nostrils. If it accidentally gets in these areas, rinse well with clean water. Do not use Aknemycin Plus Solution on sunburnt, cracked, or irritated skin, as it might cause a burning sensation.

If you apply too much Aknemycin, your skin might turn red and become irritated. Stop using Aknemycin Plus Solution until the irritation settles, and get in touch with your clinician if it's very bad. If you forget to use Aknemycin Plus Solution, apply it as soon as you remember. Don't use extra to make up for the missed dose; just carry on as usual.

How is Aknemycin Plus Solution different from other treatments for acne?

Aknemycin Plus Solution is unique because it combines two active ingredients not found together in any other acne treatment. One of these, the antibiotic erythromycin, is highly effective for acne due to its strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

The topical tretinoin is designed specifically for your skin, helping to clear acne and promote quicker growth of healthy cells. Together, these treatments work to reduce acne and leave your skin looking fresher and clearer.

Is Aknemycin Plus Solution similar to any other treatments?

There are alternative acne treatments that include one of Aknemycin's active ingredients. If your acne is more severe, your doctor might suggest trying Erythromycin tablets. You take these orally to help reduce your acne. Additionally, there are topical treatments with erythromycin combined with other ingredients, such as Zineryt, which contains both erythromycin and zinc.

There are also topical options like Treclin gel, which contains tretinoin and clindamycin. Clindamycin, like erythromycin, is an antibiotic, but it belongs to a different class. If you can't use erythromycin, Treclin gel might be suitable for you.

How effective is Aknemycin Plus Solution?

Research on Aknemycin Plus Solution has demonstrated that its two ingredients work better together than separately. One study discovered that although both ingredients help reduce acne, erythromycin prevents a temporary worsening of acne symptoms in the initial weeks of tretinoin treatment.

Other studies have found that Aknemycin Plus Solution is effective and causes few side effects. After 14 weeks of use, 88.4% of participants saw their comedones improve or vanish entirely. Additionally, 90.8% experienced improvement or elimination of papules, and 92.6% noticed their pustules were either gone or had improved.

In a different study, 85% of the participants reported that their acne was either greatly improved or completely cleared. Half of them saw significant results in under ten weeks.

Aknemycin Plus Solution is effective, and you might see results quite quickly.

Do I need a prescription for Aknemycin Plus Solution?

Yes, you'll require a prescription to use Aknemycin Plus Solution. It's a potent treatment with a topical antibiotic, so a healthcare professional will need to confirm it's appropriate for you. Share details about your acne with us, and we'll suggest the most suitable treatments. You can then choose the one that fits you best from our recommendations.
