Pustulex Gel is an antibiotic. It works by stopping the production of folic acid in acne-causing bacteria (P. acnes) thereby stopping their growth. In addition, its anti-inflammatory effects help reduce redness and swelling due to acne.

You have been prescribed Pustulex Gel for the treatment of acne. Apply it precisely on the affected area as instructed by your doctor. Take care to avoid getting the gel in the eyes, mouth, or nose. If it happens, rinse it out with plenty of warm water. Do not apply it on broken, infected, or sunburnt areas of skin. It should not be used in children less than 12 years of age. Do not use more amount or more often than recommended as that will not make it any more effective but may irritate your skin. It may cause dryness and itching of the skin being treated. Inform your doctor if this bothers you. Stop using Pustulex Gel and inform your doctor if your lips, nail beds, or the inside of your mouth turns grey or blue.
