Instructions for use for CORDES BPO 10% gel, 30 g

Cordes BPO 10% Gel is a medication for the treatment of acne, especially on the chest and back, and in patients who do not respond to lower concentrations of benzoyl peroxide. It contains the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide, which has antimicrobial properties and regulates excess sebum production and keratinisation of the skin. It is applied once or twice a day to the affected areas of the skin after the skin has been thoroughly cleansed. The gel should be applied thinly and not rubbed in. In case of mild skin irritations at the beginning of the treatment, the preparation should be discontinued if they do not improve after 5 days. The gel should not be applied to previously damaged skin and should not come into contact with mucous membranes or the areas of the mouth, nose and eyes. Side effects may include mild skin irritation such as redness, itching, tightness and burning, which usually disappear after a few days. In rare cases, allergic skin reactions may occur. The gel should not be applied to the eyebrows, beard area or brow hairline and should not come into contact with coloured textiles. The medicine should be stored away from heat. The package leaflet contains further important information and can be read again if necessary. It is recommended that you consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have any further questions or if side effects occur. Source: Information in the package leaflet, revised February 2021.
