Minym 4% Topical Gel in Pakistan
What it is:
Minym 4% Gel, produced by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, is India’s first topical formulation containing 4% minocycline, designed for treating moderate to severe inflammatory acne (pimples and red bumps) and rosacea in individuals aged nine and above
How it works:
Minocycline is a tetracycline-class antibiotic that acts as a bacteriostatic agent—it inhibits bacterial protein synthesis—thus preventing the growth of acne-causing organisms and reducing inflammation . The topical gel delivers this action directly to affected skin, helping to bypass many systemic side effects of oral antibiotics.
Key benefits:
-
Potent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, offering one of the lowest MIC?? values among topical options
-
Clinically indicated for moderate to severe acne and rosacea in patients aged ≥9 years .
-
Targeted delivery reduces likelihood of systemic antibiotic resistance and side effects compared to oral minocycline.
Usage instructions:
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin on the affected areas once daily, or as prescribed by your dermatologist. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and mucous membranes—rinse thoroughly with water if accidental contact occurs. Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight
