Generic
Adapalene
Contraindications
A thin film of gel or cream should be applied to the skin areas where lesions present, using enough to cover the entire affected areas lightly.
Pregnancy And Lactation
Concomitant use of other potentially irritating topical products (medicated or abrasive soaps and cleansers, soaps and cosmetics that have a strong drying effect, products with high concentrations of alcohol, astringents, spices or lime) should be approached with caution. Exercise particular caution in using preparations containing sulfur, resorcinol or salicylic acid in combination with Adapalene. If any of these preparations have been used, it is advisable not to start therapy with Adapalene until the effects of such preparations in skin have subsided. If combined use of both medications is important, it is better to use in two different times.

Adapalene should not be administered to individuals who are hypersensitive to Adapalene or any of its components.
Storage Conditions
Erythema, scaling, dryness, pruritus, burning sensation, skin irritation, stinging unburn, acne flares, etc. are commonly seen during the first month of therapy but usually lessen with continued use of the medication.
