Frequently asked questions

What is Irexime used for?+
Irexime is a topical combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide indicated for the treatment of acne vulgaris. It helps reduce inflammatory lesions, comedones, and overall skin redness by targeting bacterial growth and follicular blockage.
How does clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide work in Irexime?+
Clindamycin inhibits protein synthesis in Cutibacterium acnes by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit, while benzoyl peroxide releases oxygen radicals that oxidise bacterial proteins and promote keratolysis. Together they reduce bacterial load and unclog pores.
What is the usual dose of Irexime?+
The dosing regimen for Irexime is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the severity of acne and patient tolerance. Typically, a thin layer is applied to the affected area once or twice daily as directed by a healthcare professional.
Is Irexime safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for Irexime in pregnancy and lactation are limited. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should discuss potential risks and benefits with their healthcare provider before using the product.
How do I order Irexime from GNH USA?+
To order Irexime, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does Irexime compare with other acne treatments?+
Irexime combines an antibiotic (clindamycin) with a keratolytic (benzoyl peroxide), offering both antibacterial and comedolytic actions in a single formulation. This dual mechanism can be more convenient than using separate products and may reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance compared with monotherapy.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Irexime?+
Irexime should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight, and avoid freezing the product.
How is Irexime applied?+
Apply a thin layer of Irexime to clean, dry skin on the affected areas, usually once or twice daily as instructed by a healthcare professional. Do not cover the treated skin with occlusive dressings unless advised.
What are the most serious risks associated with Irexime?+
Serious risks, though rare, include allergic reactions such as contact dermatitis, severe skin swelling, urticaria, and photosensitivity. If any of these occur, discontinue use and seek medical attention promptly.
Who should not use Irexime?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to clindamycin, benzoyl peroxide, or any component of the formulation should avoid Irexime. It is also not recommended for use on severely damaged, inflamed, or infected skin without medical supervision.
