EU-licensed doctors

Electronic prescription

Each pharmacy decides whether it can dispense an approved prescription; some do not accept PDF prescriptions.

If you want to get Duac online in Getafe, you can request an evaluation from an EU-licensed doctor through Hi-Doctor without visiting a local clinic. Duac combines clindamycin 1% with benzoyl peroxide (3% or 5%) to treat inflammatory acne vulgaris. You complete a private medical questionnaire, submit clear photos of your skin, and an EU doctor reviews your clinical case. When clinically appropriate, a digital valid electronic prescription is issued in under 24 hours. The 40 € consultation fee is refunded in full if the doctor does not issue a prescription, and your prescription can be presented at any EU pharmacy.

Over 50,000 patients have accessed asynchronous medical consultations through Hi-Doctor, maintaining a 4.8/5 rating on Trustpilot.

The entire assessment takes place online through an asynchronous medical platform. You do not need an in-person appointment or a video call.

  1. Fill out the clinical questionnaire: Share your medical history, previous acne treatments, and current symptoms in a secure form.
  2. Upload skin photos: Submit high-resolution images of the affected areas so the doctor can assess lesion types and disease severity.
  3. Medical review within 24 hours: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your clinical profile and photographic evidence. When appropriate, the doctor issues a formal valid electronic prescription.
  4. Present your prescription: Download the official the valid electronic prescription PDF from your account. In Getafe or anywhere in Spain, pharmacies verify the QR code directly; across the EU, a pharmacist reviews the prescription and may dispense the medication or a locally marketed equivalent. Pharmacists retain the right to refuse dispensing.

Who qualifies

Duac is indicated for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne characterised by papules and pustules. To qualify for an online prescription, you must meet specific clinical criteria evaluated by the doctor.

Editorial still life illustrating Who qualifies
Who qualifies
  • Eligible: Adults with mild or moderate inflammatory acne who need dual-action topical therapy and have no contraindications to clindamycin or lincomycin.
  • Photo requirement: You must provide well-lit, in-focus photos of the target skin area during the questionnaire.
  • In-person referrals: Severe, nodular, cystic, or scarring acne is out of scope for online management. Patients with severe presentations, as well as those requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics, are referred to in-person specialist care.

What Duac actually does

Duac attacks acne through two complementary mechanisms. Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that halts protein synthesis in Cutibacterium acnes, reducing bacterial counts and suppressing local tissue inflammation.

Benzoyl peroxide provides keratolytic and bactericidal activity through the release of free oxygen radicals. Crucially, the benzoyl peroxide component prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why clindamycin is never prescribed as a monotherapy. Clinical guidelines cap Duac treatment at 12 consecutive weeks to minimise resistance risks and assess whether a transition to maintenance retinoids or azelaic acid is required.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical application of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide can cause local cutaneous reactions, particularly during the initial weeks of treatment.

  • Common local reactions: Erythema, peeling, dryness, burning sensations, and mild contact dermatitis at the application site.
  • Bleaching effect: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches hair, fabrics, and towels. Wash hands thoroughly after application.
  • When to discontinue: Stop treatment and consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience severe abdominal cramps, watery diarrhoea, or signs of an allergic reaction (facial swelling, urticaria, or shortness of breath).

Why Hi-Doctor vs. walking into a clinic

Booking a specialist dermatology visit in Getafe often involves weeks on a waiting list or high private consultation costs. Hi-Doctor provides a streamlined, fully auditable alternative.
