🛒 How to order this item?
Indication of Fona 0.3%
A drug called Fona Gel is used to treat mild to moderate acne. It stops the skin from developing tiny pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. It lessens the skin's excessive oil production, lessens inflammation, or unclogs clogged pores. Only use Fona Gel externally. Always use it exactly as directed by your doctor.
Pharmacology
Adapalene works by activating retinoid receptors, which are frequently present in the skin of the chest, back, and face. Adapalene is a modulator of cellular differentiation, keratinization, and inflammatory processes, all of which represent significant features in the pathology of acne vulgaris, according to biochemical and pharmacological studies. Adapalene interacts with particular nuclear retinoic acid receptors to normalize the differentiation of follicular epithelial cells, which reduces the production of microcomedones. Adapalene does not absorb very well through human skin.
Dosage and administration of Fona 0.3%
Adapalene 0.1%:
It should be applied to the affected areas of skin, once daily at night-time.
Adapalene 0.3%:
It should be applied to the entire face and any other affected areas of the skin, once daily in the evening.
Children below 12 years of age:
Safety and effectiveness in children below 12 years of age have not been established. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor.
Interaction of Fona 0.3%
Use of other potentially aggravating topical products concurrently should be approached with caution (cracked or rough cleansers and cleansers, cleansers and makeup that have a strong drying impact, items with high concentrations of liquor, astringents, flavors, or lime). Exercise extra caution when combining Adapalene with arrangements that contain sulfur, resorcinol, or salicylic acid. If any of these methods have been used, it is wise to wait to start Adapalene treatment until the effects of those methods have subsided in the skin. If the combined use of both medications is necessary, it is preferable to take them at two different times.
