Let's take a minute to talk about your medication. 

This is Aklief. It helps to treat certain skin conditions, like acne. It may have other uses, too.

Aklief is a cream that is applied topically to the skin. It is often applied one time each day, usually before going to bed. You should apply a thin layer to the affected area of skin, exactly as your doctor tells you to. You should also read the 'Instructions for Use' for full information. If you still have questions, your doctor or pharmacist can help.

Most people tolerate this medicine well. The most common side effect is skin irritation. This can include redness, burning, itching, and dryness. These effects are normal if they are mild and should go away. Using a moisturizer may help to reduce these side effects. If possible, you should try to avoid using this medicine on skin that gets a lot of sun. Be sure to protect the treated skin with sunscreen and protective clothing. Also, you should not use tanning beds or sunlamps. If these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking this medicine, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

As with any medicine, rare but serious side effects could occur. You should read the Patient Information Sheet to know which symptoms to watch for and when to report changes.

Women should check with their doctors before becoming pregnant or breastfeeding. 

Aklief can interact with other medicines. You should always check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking or using other medicines.

For best results with Aklief, follow the Instructions for Use and call your doctor if your condition does not improve or get worse.
