Erytop Gel is an antibiotic medication designed to combat bacteria responsible for acne, which manifests as spots or pimples on the face, chest, or back. The gel works by inhibiting the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria, thereby preventing their growth and the spread of infection. While generally safe, it may cause minor burning, stinging, or irritation upon application. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth and to consult a doctor if the treated area becomes more irritated or infected. Erytop Gel is considered safe during pregnancy but may be unsafe during breastfeeding.

Quick Tips
You have been prescribed Erytop Gel for the treatment of acne. You may have to use it for a long time before your acne starts to improve. Be patient and keep using it every day. Wash your skin with a mild cleanser and pat it dry before applying Erytop Gel. Apply it as a thin layer onto clean, dry, unbroken skin affected by acne. 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. If you think the area of skin you are treating has become more irritated and infected, you should stop using Erytop Gel and consult your doctor.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use Erytop Gel?
Before using Erytop Gel, clean and dry the affected area. Gently and thoroughly massage it into the skin. Be cautious not to get the medication in your eyes or mouth. If Erytop Gel accidentally gets in your eyes, rinse with plenty of water and consult your doctor if your eyes become irritated.
How long should I use Erytop Gel?
Use Erytop Gel for as long as your doctor recommends. You may need to use it for several months to achieve complete clearance of your acne. Initial benefits may take several weeks to appear, followed by a gradual but noticeable improvement. Typically, Erytop Gel should be used for a maximum of 12 weeks. You may require more than one tube of Erytop Gel during each treatment course.
What does Erytop Gel do for acne?
Erytop Gel treats and prevents acne by inhibiting the growth of bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes), which causes it. Acne is a common skin condition that often occurs during adolescence, when the skin's natural oil glands produce excess oil in response to normal hormone levels. This can lead to blocked pores (blackheads) and, subsequently, bacterial invasion, resulting in red, pus-filled spots (acne).
Is Erytop Gel effective?
Erytop Gel is effective when used as directed by your doctor. Do not discontinue treatment even if you notice an improvement in your condition. Stopping Erytop Gel too early may cause symptoms to return or worsen.
Can Erytop Gel cause skin rash?
Common side effects of Erytop Gel include irritation, swollen, pale red bumps, and dryness. In rare cases, a scaly skin rash may occur. If this bothers you, consult your doctor.
What precautions should I take while using Erytop Gel?
Be cautious not to get Erytop Gel in your eyes or mouth. If accidental exposure occurs, rinse with plenty of water immediately and consult your doctor. Do not use Erytop Gel if you are allergic to it or any of its ingredients. Inform your doctor if you experience any allergic reaction while using it for the first time. If you take regular medications, inform your doctor to prevent any potential allergic reactions. Avoid covering the treated area with a bandage, as this may increase absorption and side effects. Use only the recommended dose to avoid increasing side effects. Inform your doctor if you plan to conceive.
