Make sure it is safe for you to use Eryacne 4:

Do not use Eryacne 4 if you have previously had an allergic reaction to erythromycin or any of the other ingredients in the product. An allergic reaction may include a rash or itching.

Precautions

If you use Eryacne 4 on your face don't get it in your eyes or mouth, or on your lips. If you do, wash the area with large amounts of warm water. Don't use Eryacne 4 on areas where you have cuts or scrapes and don’t use it on your chest if you are breast feeding.

• Don't use Eryacne 4 with any other acne products that are used on the skin unless your doctor or pharmacist has told you that you can. While you are on Eryacne 4, don't use skin cleansers that remove dead skin (these are called exfoliants), medicated soaps or cosmetics containing alcohol. These could make your skin irritated or dry.

Instructions For Using Your Eryacne 4

Please follow these instructions to open the tube for the first time

 

• 1. Unscrew the cap from the tube by turning the white plastic ring, and removing the white collar. Pierce the tube seal by replacing the cap.
• 2. Unscrew the yellow part of the cap and place a small amount of gel on your forefinger. Gently apply Eryacne 4 to the affected areas of your skin.
• 3. The alcohol quickly evaporates and erythromycin penetrates into your skin without leaving an unpleasant film.
• 4. After you have used Eryacne 4, screw the yellow cap tightly on the tube.

• Unless your doctor or pharmacist has told you otherwise, use your Eryacne 4 once in the morning and once in the evening.
• Thoroughly wash the affected areas with water or with a mild cleanser. Your chemist can advise you on which cleanser to use. Thoroughly dry the areas and put on a thin film of Eryacne 4 using the tips of your fingers. Don't forget to wash your hands afterwards.
• How long you will have to use Eryacne 4 will depend on how quickly your acne improves. You may well use Eryacne 4 for one month and then Eryacne 2 for one more month. Eryacne 4 is a stronger version of Eryacne 2, and your doctor will decide which strength to prescribe for you.

Your doctor will decide how long you will use this product. After you have used Eryacne 4 for one month, it is important that you see your doctor. He or she can then can check the improvement of your acne.

• Don't put too much Eryacne 4 on your skin. You will not get rid of the acne any quicker. If you put on too much, your skin may become irritated and red. Some peeling or discomfort could also occur. If any of these happen, use Eryacne 4 once a day in the evening until they have gone. Then apply Eryacne 4 twice a day as you did previously. If the effects continue or are causing you a lot of discomfort, stop using the product and ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
• Don't worry if you forget to apply Eryacne 4 at the right time. When you can, start using the product again, morning and evening, in the same way as before.
