Duac Gel 5% and 3%

Duac Gel is a prescription acne treatment that combines an antibiotic (clindamycin) with benzoyl peroxide. This dual-action formula helps to manage acne by targeting its underlying causes and preventing new breakouts.

• Clindamycin: Acts as an antibiotic to stop the growth of acne-causing bacteria and ease inflammation.
• Benzoyl Peroxide: Helps to exfoliate the skin, clear clogged pores, and eliminate bacteria.

The combination of these active ingredients reduces acne severity and promotes healthier skin.

• Cleanse and dry the affected skin thoroughly before application.
• Apply a thin layer of Duac Gel once daily to the entire affected area.
• Wash your hands before and after use.
• Avoid getting the gel in your eyes, mouth, or on broken skin.

Improvements are typically seen within 2-5 weeks. Use sunscreen to protect against sensitivity to sunlight.

• Skin redness, dryness, or peeling in the treated area
• Mild burning or itching
• Increased skin sensitivity to sunlight
• Occasionally, headaches or irritation

These effects are usually mild and improve as your skin adapts to the treatment.

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, or open wounds.
• Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen and protective clothing.
• The gel may bleach fabrics, so avoid contact with clothing or bed linens.
• Not suitable for individuals with a history of gastrointestinal conditions like Crohn’s disease.
• Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Discontinue use and seek medical advice if severe skin irritation or digestive issues occur.

Always adhere to your healthcare provider's guidance and consult the patient information leaflet for detailed instructions.
