Indication of Fona 0.1% Cream

Fona 0.1% Cream is a dermatological preparation used for the treatment of acne in individuals aged 12 years and above. Acne is a common skin condition that results from the blockage of hair follicles by dead skin cells and oil. This blockage provides a food source for acne-causing bacteria, which leads to redness and swelling. 

The active ingredient in Fona 0.1% Cream is Adapalene, which belongs to the retinoid class of drugs. Adapalene works by loosening the cells on the skin's surface, reducing oil production, and unblocking pores. This mechanism leads to a reduction in the formation of pimples, whiteheads, and blackheads.

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 10
  • Check the label for directions before use.
  • Clean and dry the affected area and apply the gel.
  • Wash your hands after applying, unless your hands are the affected area.

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 10

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.

Contraindications

Adapalene should not be administered to individuals who are hypersensitive to Adapalene or any of its components.

Pregnancy and lactation

Use Adapalene during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. It is not known whether this drug is excreted in breast milk. Exercise caution when administering Adapalene to a nursing mother.

Precautions & Warnings

  • Apply sparingly, taking care to avoid sensitive or sunburned skin.
  • If you experience unusual skin dryness, redness, or peeling, let your doctor know.
  • Adapalene should not be applied to cuts, abrasions, or eczematous skin
  • Squeezing, popping, or picking at areas can aggravate them and result in permanent scarring.
