Indication

ONEXTON® (clindamycin phosphate and benzoyl peroxide) Gel, 1.2%/3.75% is indicated for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris in patients 12 years of age or older.

Important Safety Information

Contraindications

  • ONEXTON Gel is contraindicated:

    - in patients with a known hypersensitivity to clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, any component of the formulation, or lincomycin. Anaphylaxis, as well as other allergic reactions leading to hospitalizations, has been reported in postmarketing use of products containing clindamycin/benzoyl peroxide.

    - ­in patients with a history of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic‐associated colitis.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, and colitis (including pseudomembranous colitis) have been reported with the use of topical and systemic clindamycin. ONEXTON Gel should be discontinued if significant diarrhea occurs.
  • Orally and parenterally administered clindamycin has been associated with severe colitis, which may result in death.
  • ONEXTON Gel should not be used in combination with erythromycin‐containing products because of its clindamycin component. Concomitant topical acne therapy should be used with caution due to possible cumulative irritation.
  • There are no available data on use in pregnant women. The developmental benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for ONEXTON. If used during nursing, avoid ingestion by the infant.
  • Patients should be advised to avoid contact with the eyes or mucous membranes.
  • Patients should minimize sun exposure (including tanning beds and sunlamps) following drug application.

Adverse Reactions

  • The most common local adverse reactions experienced by patients in clinical trials were mild and moderate erythema, scaling, itching, burning and stinging.
