About Acgel 1% Lotion

Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult a doctor.

Do not use Acgel 1% Lotion if you are allergic to clarithromycin or other macrolide antibiotics such as erythromycin, azithromycin, or any of the other components of this medicine. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. While applying Acgel 1% Lotion, make sure it does not come in contact with the nose, eyes or mucous membrane.
