Aknill Gel contains Isotretinoin and is used in adults and children over 12 years old to treat severe forms of acne that have not improved with other treatments, such as nodular acne, conglobate acne, and acne at risk of scarring.
During treatment with Aknill Gel, your doctor may conduct blood tests and pregnancy tests. You will be supervised by a dermatologist and advised to reduce intensive exercise and physical activity. When going out in the sun, use sunscreen with high SPF to protect your skin. Avoid excessive sun exposure and sun-lamp or sun-bed use. Alcohol consumption should be avoided during treatment. Refrain from blood donation and cosmetic procedures for a certain period during and after treatment.
Aknill Gel is not recommended for use in patients with liver or kidney disease, hyperlipidemia, high levels of Vitamin A, mental illness, or family history of mental illness, asthma, diabetes, heart or bone problems like osteoporosis, or eating disorders. It is also contraindicated in pregnant or breastfeeding women and children under 12 years old.
Aknill Gel with caution in elderly patients (65 years and older).
Aknill Gel may cause depression, psychosis, suicidal thoughts, or self-harm in some patients. Consult your doctor if you experience any such behavior or thoughts.
Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Aknill Gel as it may increase side effects. Inform your doctor if you are an alcoholic.
Aknill Gel is not recommended for pregnant women or those planning a pregnancy. Inform your doctor if you become pregnant during treatment. Avoid pregnancy for one month after stopping treatment as the medication may still be present in your body. Contraception should be used before, during, and after treatment. Discuss suitable contraceptive methods with your doctor.
Avoid using Aknill Gel while breastfeeding as it may pass into breast milk. Consult your doctor before taking it.
Do not drive or operate machinery if you experience dizziness, drowsiness, or decreased night vision after taking Aknill Gel.
Use Aknill Gel with caution in patients with kidney problems. Consult your doctor before taking it.
Aknill Gel is not recommended for use in patients with liver disease. Consult your doctor before taking it.
Aknill Gel helps in treating acne by inhibiting the function of sebaceous glands (oil glands in skin) thus, reducing the secretion of oil (sebum) in the skin. Aknill Gel also inhibits keratinization (development of a horn-like character by the epithelial tissue), which might be a cause of acne.
In normal use, Aknill may cause stinging, burning, or irritation, along with erythema and peeling at the site of application. If undue irritation occurs, treatment should be temporarily interrupted and resumed once the reaction subsides. If irritation persists, treatment should be discontinued.
Aknill topical gel is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate inflammatory and non-inflammatory acne vulgaris.
Isotretinoin, the active ingredient in Aknill, alters progress through the cell cycle, cell differentiation, survival, and apoptosis. These actions reduce sebum production, prevent pore blockage, and inhibit the growth of acne-causing bacteria. Isotretinoin induces apoptosis in sebocytes, decreases sebum production, and reduces the formation of comedones. It may also increase immune mechanisms and alter the chemotaxis of monocytes to reduce inflammation.
Apply Isotretinoin 0.05% gel cautiously over the affected area once or twice daily. Patients should be advised that 6-8 weeks of treatment may be required before a therapeutic effect is observed. The safety and efficacy of Isotretinoin have not been established in children, as acne vulgaris rarely presents in this age group. No specific recommendations for use in the elderly are available.
Acute overdosage of Aknill has not been reported. Accidental ingestion could induce symptoms of hypervitaminosis A, including severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, irritability, and pruritus.
Concomitant use of topical medication should be exercised cautiously during therapy with Aknill, particularly preparations containing a peeling agent or abrasive cleansers.
Isotretinoin 0.05% gel is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Isotretinoin.
Isotretinoin is classified as Pregnancy Category B. Topically applied Isotretinoin's safety in human pregnancy is inadequately evidenced, but systemic administration has been associated with teratogenicity. Isotretinoin should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation.
Avoid contact with the mouth, eyes, mucous membranes, or abraded or eczematous skin. Application to sensitive areas like the neck should be made with caution. Exposure to sunlight should be minimized, and patients with sunburn should refrain from using Aknill due to increased sensitivity to sunlight.
Store in a cool, dry place, protected from light.
