Buy Nicam Gel Online

Nicam Gel is used to treat acne vulgaris. Acne vulgaris causes inflamed pimples (papules) and spots containing pus
(pustules), often with skin redness (erythema) and some tenderness.
The condition occurs mainly on the face, back and chest. Nicam Gel is suitable for use by adults, children and the elderly. The active ingredient in this product is nicotinamide. This ingredient treats pimples and spots by its anti-inflammatory activity, which reduces swelling, redness and tenderness. Nicotinamide is not an antibiotic, it is
related to an essential vitamin in our diet (Vitamin B3).

Side Effects of Nicam Gel

Although Nicam Gel has been specially designed for use on all skin types including problem skin, it can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

• Occasionally, susceptible individuals can experience local skin dryness. If this is unacceptable, or causes
  irritation or peeling, try applying the gel only once a day or every other day.
• Very occasionally, allergic reactions such as itching (pruritus), redness (erythema), swelling or burning
  sensations can occur.

Stop using this product and tell your doctor or pharmacist if any side effect gets serious, or you notice any other side effects not mentioned in this leaflet.

Before taking any medication, it is important to read the Patient Information Leaflet. You can find information leaflets for your medicines by typing them into the search bar at medicines.org, or by contacting us.

Directions of use for Nicam Gel

For adults, children and the elderly:

Apply the gel twice daily over and around the affected skin areas as follows:

• Wash the area.
• Gently pat the skin dry (avoid rubbing as this may aggravate the skin).
• Apply a thin film of gel, and gently massage it in.

Continue using the gel twice daily in this way for as long as necessary. Depending on the severity of your acne, it can take several weeks for the skin’s normal repair process to work before you see a real improvement in your skin.

Warnings for Nicam Gel

Do not use Nicam Gel if you are allergic (hypersensitive) to nicotinamide or any of the other ingredients of Nicam Gel.

Take care when using this product:

• Only apply it to your skin.
• When using it on your face, keep it away from your eyes, and avoid getting it inside your nostrils, on your lips or inside your mouth.
• Depending on how sensitive your skin tends to be, it may be a good idea initially to test the gel on a small area and wait 24 hours before using it on larger areas. This is especially advisable if you have unusually sensitive skin or if you are treating the face (as generally applies when using any new treatment for the first time).
