Description:

Brevoxyl Cream is a topical medicine used for the treatment of acne vulgaris. It works by killing acne-causing bacteria on the skin and by helping to remove dead skin cells that block pores. This reduces the formation of pimples and blackheads and helps keep the skin clearer over time.

Employ Brevoxyl Cream in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor or follow the instructions provided in the leaflet. Wash and dry the affected area before application. It may take several weeks for your symptoms to improve. Retain using it as advised. Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve after a month of regular use.


Ordinary side effects of Brevoxyl Cream include itching, stinging, peeling, and redness of the skin. They are not usually serious, but tell your doctor if they bother you or do not go away. You may need to apply a smaller amount or use it less often. It can also bleach hair and fabrics, including clothes, so be careful to avoid contact with these.


Brevoxyl Cream is meant for external use only and should be applied carefully to avoid irritation. Do not apply the medicine to broken or damaged skin. Also, keep the medicine away from the eyes, mouth, nose, and other sensitive areas. Sun exposure and UV light should be limited during treatment, as the skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight.

FAQs:

How should I apply Brevoxyl Cream?

You should remove all of the make-up. Wash your hands and the affected area and gently dry. Put a thin layer of Brevoxyl Cream 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.

How often should I apply Brevoxyl Cream?

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).

Can I leave Brevoxyl Cream on overnight?

Brevoxyl Cream is usually applied once a day in the evening when starting treatment. After applying it, the area does not need to be washed off, so it can be left on overnight. If you notice significant irritation or discomfort, stop using it and consult your doctor.

How long does Brevoxyl Cream 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.

Can I apply moisturizer before or after Brevoxyl Cream?

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

What should prompt me to discontinue Brevoxyl Cream?

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

What precautions should be followed while using Brevoxyl Cream?

Employ Brevoxyl Cream only on your skin. Retain 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 Brevoxyl Cream on scratched or eroded skin and open wounds. Brevoxyl Cream can also make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. So, avoid the use of sunbeds/lamps and minimize the time you spend in the sun. Employ sunscreen and wear protective clothing while using Brevoxyl Cream. Avoid contact with hair, clothes, and furniture as Brevoxyl Cream has bleaching properties.
