Warnings Topical gels and creams are intended for external use only and should be kept away from eyes, nose, mouth, and other mucous membranes because of its irritant effect. Do not apply to eyelids or to the skin at the corners of the eyes and mouth. Avoid the angles of the nose and nasolabial fold (if treatment in these areas; is necessary, apply very sparingly). Topical use may induce severe local erythema and peeling at the site of application. If the degree of local irritation warrants, patients should be directed to use the medication less frequently, discontinue use temporarily or discontinue use altogether.
Side Effects Like all medicines Spotex can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. These might include dryness, itching, redness, peeling or oiliness. You might feel a stinging or burning sensation when you put it on your skin. Usually the effects are not serious and happen at the start of treatment. More often than not, they go away as you continue to use the gel. If any of the side effects gets serious, or if you notice any side effects not listed in this leaflet, please tell your doctor or pharmacist.
