MANUFACTURER: Pharmasol (Pvt) Ltd

QUANTITY:

15g topical gel

INDICATION

Bensolene Gel 15g is a topical fixed-combination retinoid and antibacterial preparation indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe acne vulgaris in patients 9 years of age and older. It is used when single-agent topical acne therapy with either a retinoid or benzoyl peroxide alone has been insufficient. The combination targets both the comedonal and inflammatory components of acne vulgaris, providing superior efficacy compared to either agent used alone.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Adapalene is a third-generation synthetic retinoid that selectively binds to retinoic acid receptors (RAR-beta and RAR-gamma) in the nucleus of keratinocytes. It normalizes abnormal keratinocyte differentiation within the pilosebaceous follicle, preventing microcomedone formation and promoting comedone resolution. Unlike tretinoin, adapalene is more photostable and less irritating. Benzoyl peroxide is a bactericidal agent that releases reactive oxygen species (free radicals) within the follicle, causing oxidative damage to Cutibacterium acnes proteins and cell membranes. Because benzoyl peroxide is bactericidal rather than bacteriostatic, it significantly reduces the risk of antibiotic resistance. The combination addresses both the comedonal and inflammatory pathophysiology of acne through complementary mechanisms.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

• Apply a thin layer once daily in the evening to clean, dry facial skin or other affected areas

• Avoid the eyes, lips, nostrils, mouth, and mucous membranes

• Use a gentle, non-comedogenic sunscreen during the day as adapalene increases photosensitivity

• Initial skin irritation (dryness, redness, peeling) is common in the first 2 to 4 weeks and typically subsides; always follow your dermatologist's instructions

SIDE EFFECTS

Common:

• Local skin irritation: dryness, erythema, and peeling (particularly in the first 2 to 4 weeks)

• Burning and stinging on application

• Skin tightness and scaling

• Increased photosensitivity

Less common:

• Contact dermatitis or allergic reaction in sensitive individuals

• Bleaching of hair and fabrics from benzoyl peroxide

• Excessive skin dryness requiring moisturizer

• Worsening of acne in the first 2 weeks (purging reaction; temporary)

NOT RECOMMENDED IN

• Known hypersensitivity to adapalene, benzoyl peroxide, or any excipient

• Avoid use near the eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes

• Pregnancy (adapalene is a retinoid; avoid in pregnancy)

• Do not combine with other potentially irritating topical agents on the same area without dermatologist guidance

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Concurrent use of other topical retinoids (tretinoin, isotretinoin gel) is contraindicated due to excessive skin irritation. Topical keratolytics, exfoliants, and astringents increase irritation when combined. Benzoyl peroxide may oxidize and inactivate topical antibiotics; use at different times of day if co-prescribed. Systemic isotretinoin combined with topical retinoids increases irritation and photosensitivity.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

Store below 25°C away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep tube tightly closed. Keep out of reach of children.
