Product introduction

Clindac A Mist Spray is a topical antibiotic commonly prescribed for the treatment of acne, particularly when breakouts occur on the face, chest, or back. It works by reducing the number of acne-causing bacteria on the skin, thereby minimizing inflammation and preventing the formation of new pimples.

Apply Clindac A Mist Spray in the exact dose and duration prescribed by your doctor. Make sure the skin is clean and dry. Spread a thin layer over the affected areas. Wash your hands before and after applying the medicine. Use it regularly, even if you don’t see immediate results, as it can take a few weeks to notice improvement. Avoid excessive exposure to the sun and use sunscreen, as Clindac A Mist Spray may make your skin more sensitive to sunlight.


The most common side effects of Clindac A Mist Spray are dry skin, skin irritation, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal disturbances. These are usually mild and go away as your skin adjusts to the treatment. To reduce irritation, use a gentle moisturizer or consult your doctor if the symptoms become bothersome. If you experience severe reactions, such as a rash, swelling, or difficulty breathing, stop using it and seek medical help immediately.


While using Clindac A Mist Spray, avoid applying it to broken or irritated skin, and keep it away from your eyes, nose, and mouth. Be cautious with other acne treatments, as combining too many products can irritate the skin. If you have a history of digestive problems like colitis, let your doctor know before starting treatment, as Clindac A Mist Spray may increase the risk of certain side effects. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before using this medicine.
