What is Glyco Cream (Glycolic Acid) used for?

Glyco Cream (Glycolic Acid) is a topical medication prescribed to fight signs of aging skin. The cream operates by promoting the renewal of skin cells by exfoliating and encouraging new cell production to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other blemishes. Your doctor may also prescribe it for other unlisted purposes, as well.

How should I use Glyco Cream (Glycolic Acid)?

Glyco Cream (Glycolic Acid) is normally administered once or twice each day, but your instructions will be determined by your doctor based on your health condition and the severity of your symptoms. To use the cream rinse and dry the areas being treated, apply a small amount of medication, gently massage it into the skin, and leave the areas uncovered to allow any excess cream to evaporate. Wash your hands using soap and water after each application to prevent the medication from contacting any mucous membranes or other areas of skin not being treated. Ask your doctor any questions you have about using the medicine to ensure the correct administration.

What are the side effects of Glyco Cream (Glycolic Acid)?

Although uncommon, the use of Glyco Cream (Glycolic Acid) may cause side effects in some patients including:

• Mild burning or stinging sensation
• Dry, flaking, or peeling skin
• Sensitive skin or easier bruising
• Changes in skin pigmentation

Stop using the medicine and contact your doctor if you experience any worrying symptoms or signs of an allergic reaction such as hives, swelling, or difficulty breathing. These conditions may require reduced frequency of administration or emergency medical attention in serious cases to prevent more health problems from occurring.

Please Note

Glyco Cream (Glycolic Acid) should not be administered to skin that is broken or severely damaged. Do not begin using the cream if you are allergic to glycolic acid or if you have had a bad reaction to similar treatments in the past. Also inform your doctor if you have any other chronic health conditions that may cause unexpected problems during treatment.

Strictly use Glyco Cream (Glycolic Acid) as prescribed and follow all instructions provided by your doctor. Safe, suitable, and optimum dosage can vary and is dependent on the patient`s health and medical history, as well as the condition you are treating.

Glyco Cream (Glycolic Acid) may not be safe or suitable for all patients.

Seek immediate medical attention or proceed to your nearest accident and emergency department if you suffer a hypersensitive or allergic reaction.
