• Transparent pricing: 40 € one-off consultation fee; the 40 EUR consultation fee is refunded in full if the doctor does not issue a prescription.

How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Acquiring a prescription treatment online requires thorough clinical verification. Hi-Doctor's process relies on structured clinical branching and physician evaluation rather than automated approvals.

1. Complete the dermatology questionnaire: Answer questions regarding your skin history, previous acne treatments, allergies, and current routine.
2. Upload clear skin photographs: Provide well-lit photos of the affected areas so the reviewing physician can grade lesion severity and distribution accurately.
3. Doctor evaluation: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your answers and photographic evidence within 24 hours to determine clinical suitability.
4. Receive your REMPE prescription: If approved, your downloadable REMPE PDF appears in your secure account inbox and by email notification. You can present the PDF on your phone or print it for presentation at any community pharmacy in Las Palmas.

Who qualifies

Duac is a prescription-only combination gel indicated for mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. To ensure patient safety, Hi-Doctor's doctors follow strict prescribing parameters.

Clinical Factor	Eligible for Online Prescription	Referred to In-Person Specialist
Acne Severity	Mild to moderate inflammatory papules and pustules	Severe nodular, cystic, or conglobate acne
Tissue Damage	Absence of deep, widespread scarring	Active keloidal or deep ice-pick scarring
Treatment Scope	Topical therapies (Duac, Epiduo, Azelaic acid)	Oral isotretinoin, oral antibiotics, or hormonal therapy
Medical History	No history of enteritis, colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis	History of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or Crohn's disease

Hi-Doctor exclusively prescribes topical dermatological preparations online. If your questionnaire and photos indicate severe, cystic, or scarring acne requiring systemic therapy, the reviewing physician will decline the request and advise in-person clinical follow-up; in this event, the 40 EUR consultation fee is refunded in full.

What Duac actually does

Duac combines two distinct active pharmaceutical ingredients: clindamycin 1% (as clindamycin phosphate) and benzoyl peroxide (BPO) 3% or 5%. Clindamycin is a lincosamide antibiotic that halts the synthesis of bacterial proteins, suppressing the proliferation of Cutibacterium acnes within the pilosebaceous unit.

Benzoyl peroxide provides non-specific oxidizing antibacterial activity while exerting mild keratolytic effects that unclog pores. Crucially, the oxidizing action of benzoyl peroxide prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why clindamycin is never prescribed as a monotherapy. Clinical guidelines cap continuous Duac therapy at a maximum of 12 weeks to limit resistance selection and skin irritation.

Therapeutic response in inflammatory acne requires time: while initial reduction in inflammatory lesions may appear by week 4, the primary clinical endpoint is formally evaluated at 12 weeks.

Side effects and when to stop

Local cutaneous reactions are common during the initial weeks of applying Duac gel. Most patients experience mild-to-moderate erythema, peeling, dryness, and a temporary burning sensation at the application site.

• Managing local irritation: Apply a non-comedogenic, fragrance-free moisturizer 20 minutes after application. If dryness becomes pronounced, reduce application frequency to alternate evenings.
• Fabric bleaching: Benzoyl peroxide bleaches colored fabrics, towels, and hair. Wash hands thoroughly after application and use white pillowcases.
• Immediate cessation triggers: Stop treatment immediately if you experience severe abdominal cramps, prolonged watery or bloody diarrhea (signs of systemic absorption leading to pseudomembranous colitis), or facial swelling indicative of an acute allergic response.
