Evoclin is FDA-approved for the topical treatment of acne vulgaris (common acne) in patients 12 years and older. It may be used alone or in combination with other acne treatments as directed by a healthcare provider.
Evoclin contains clindamycin, an antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) on the skin's surface. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce redness and swelling associated with acne.
Evoclin is for topical use only and should not be used near the eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes. Common side effects may include dry skin, peeling, and irritation at the application site. Patients should inform their doctor if they have a history of colitis or antibiotic-associated diarrhea before using this medication. Effectiveness may decrease with prolonged use as bacteria may develop resistance.
