The information on this product's packaging is Turkish language only.

Uses
Cleocin T Topical Solution (Clindamycin) is applied to the face as a treatment for acne. It contains an active ingredient which is a type of lincomycin antibiotic. This medicated solution targets bacteria (such as the bacteria associated with acne, known as Propionebacterium acnes), causing it to disintegrate, which leads to the treatment of the infection. By eliminating the bacteria, irritation of the skin is relieved, and the inflammation of the sebaceous glands is controlled, thereby giving the skin the opportunity to heal itself.

Dosage and Administration
Consult your doctor before using Cleocin T Topical Solution (Clindamycin), so that you can be provided with expert medical advice. You will also be told how often to apply the solution, and for how long you will need to continue using it. In most cases, patients treating acne will be told to apply it to the affected area twice per day. Remember that it can take 2 to 6 weeks before an improvement in the condition is noticed, and as long as 12 weeks before the full benefits of using this medicated solution are noticed. Consult your doctor if you do not notice an improvement in your condition, or if it becomes worse.
