Benzoyl peroxide10.0% w/w
PanOxyl 10 Wash is indicated for the treatment of acne vulgaris.
Benzoyl peroxide has antibacterial activity against Propionibacterium acnes, the organism implicated in acne vulgaris. It has keratolytic activity and is sebostatic, counteracting the hyperkeratinisation and excessive sebum production associated with acne.

Adults
Wet the affected area with water and wash thoroughly with PanOxyl 10 Wash. Rinse well with warm water, then rinse with cold water. Pat dry with a clean towel. Use once a day.
Elderly patients
There are no specific recommendations. Acne vulgaris does not present in the elderly.
Paediatric use
The product is not intended for use in pre-pubescent children since acne vulgaris rarely presents in this age group.

Special warnings and precautions for use
Avoid contact with the eyes, mouth and other mucous membranes. Care should be taken when applying the product to the neck and other sensitive areas.
The product may bleach dyed fabrics.
Undesirable effects
In normal use, a mild burning sensation will probably be felt on first application and a moderate reddening and peeling of the skin will occur within a few days. During the first few weeks of treatment a sudden increase in peeling will occur in most patients; this is not harmful and will normally subside in a day or two if treatment is temporarily discontinued.
