Dalacin T

Dalacin T is a topical antimicrobial drug used to treat inflammatory skin conditions and acne.

The medication is intended for external local use only. When absorbed into the skin, the active substance can have a systemic effect. Like most antibiotics, Dalacin T can cause stool disorder and intestinal inflammation, but with local use, this side effect of the body develops extremely rarely.

Indications Dalacin T

Dalacin T is prescribed for inflammation of the sebaceous glands (acne vulgaris).

Release form

Dalacin T is available as a transparent gel for external use. The drug contains clindamycin (an analogue of lincomycin), which has a fairly narrow range of antimicrobial activity.

Pharmacodynamics

Dalacin T is a semi-synthetic antibiotic of the lincosamide group. The active substance, clindamycin, is active against acne propionibacteria, which are the main causes of acne and skin inflammation.

Clindamycin has no antifungal activity.

Pharmacokinetics

Dalacin T was tested on an extract from the contents of acne. Clinical studies have shown that topical use of the drug can suppress the proliferation of bacteria that cause inflammation and acne on the skin.

The gel reduces the level of free fatty acids. Regular use of Dalacin T leads to a slight increase in the level of clinlamycin in blood plasma and urine.

Dosing and administration

Dalacin T is applied to acne-prone and inflamed areas of the skin in a thin layer. The gel should be applied twice a day to clean skin.

The effect of Dalacin T during pregnancy has not been studied. There is also no data on whether clindamycin penetrates into breast milk when applied topically.

Contraindications

The medication is not prescribed for people with high sensitivity to clindamycin or lincomycin, as well as other components of the drug.
