Aknemycin Plus

What is Aknemycin Plus for?

Please note: Do not use Aknemycin with other Benzoyl-Peroxide containing products.

Please note: Do not use Aknemycin alongside other Tretinoin-containing products.

Please note:  Do not buy Aknemycin online if you are allergic to Erythromycin or other ingredients listed in the Patient Information Leaflet (PIL).

Please note: Only use Aknemycin alongside other treatments for your symptoms if your doctor or pharmacist says it's OK. For example, applying multiple topical medicines may cause soreness.

Simply put, Aknemycin Plus is an incredibly effective and universal treatment for acne. Whatever your symptoms are, Aknemycin will likely be suitable for you because it treats most types of the condition.

Aknemycin is often prescribed to treat acne with papules and pustules where there is a risk of scarring in the future, especially with very oily skin. Aknemycin is also often prescribed if other topical treatments have not been successful, or you do not tolerate them, or cannot use them for other medical reasons. Topical antibiotics such as Aknemycin are also ideal for those who cannot take, or do not like to take, oral antibiotics.

Tretinoin – one of the active ingredients in Aknemycin Plus - can help to treat coarse wrinkling^[1], has anti-aging benefits^[2], may help treat sun damaged skin^[3], as well as possible effectively helping in the treatment of scarring^[4]. You may have tried to buy Retin-A online and been unable to find this medication due to it no longer being available, therefore Aknemycin could be an alternative as it contains Tretinoin, as did Retin-A.

If you have read the above information and think Aknemycin could be suitable for you, you can buy Aknemycin online following the completion of an online consultation with Medical Specialists®.

How does Aknemycin Plus work?

Aknemycin Plus is a solution containing the active ingredients Erythromycin 4.0% w/w + Tretinoin 0.025% w/w. Erythromycin is an antibiotic that kills bacteria germs and reduces inflammation of the skin caused by these bacteria. Tretinoin is the active ingredient that was present in Retin-A Gel, and works at normalising the growth of superficial skin cells, plus helps dead, hardened layers of skin to peel off that are clogging the hair follicles in areas with the issue.

Simultaneously, Tretinoin clears blackheads which block your skin pores and cause spots to form. After the pores are unblocked, sebum can escape so that germ activity is limited. Aknemycin Plus also helps dissolve away the excess oil in your skin.
