Who qualifies
Duac is indicated for patients dealing with mild to moderate inflammatory acne characterised by papules and pustules. Because it contains both an antibiotic and an oxidising agent, an EU-licensed doctor must assess whether topical dual therapy is appropriate for your specific clinical presentation.
- Eligible cases: Adults and adolescents aged 12 and older with active inflammatory acne lesions on the face or upper body.
- Photo verification required: The dermatology questionnaire requires you to upload clear photos so the prescriber can verify severity.
- Out of scope: Severe nodular, cystic, or scarring acne is not treated through this service. Hi-Doctor does not prescribe oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics online; patients with severe disease are referred to in-person specialist care.
What Duac actually does
Duac combines two complementary active ingredients: clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (available in 3% or 5% strengths). Clindamycin suppresses Cutibacterium acnes bacteria within the follicles and reduces inflammation. Benzoyl peroxide adds potent antibacterial activity through oxidation while functioning as a mild keratolytic agent.
The combination prevents bacterial resistance because C. acnes cannot develop resistance to the oxidising action of benzoyl peroxide. For this reason, topical clindamycin is not prescribed as a monotherapy. Treatment with Duac is capped at a continuous duration of 12 weeks.
| Treatment | Active Ingredients | Application Frequency | Standard Treatment Course |
|---|---|---|---|
| Duac Gel | Clindamycin 1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 3% or 5% | Once nightly | Capped at 12 weeks |
| Epiduo / Acniduo | Adapalene 0.1% + Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% | Once nightly | Ongoing / judged at 12 weeks |
| Skinoren / Finacea | Azelaic Acid 15% | Twice daily | Ongoing maintenance |
Side effects and when to stop
Most patients experience mild local cutaneous reactions during the first 2 to 4 weeks of therapy. Common side effects include erythema, peeling, dryness, and a mild burning sensation. Benzoyl peroxide will also bleach coloured fabrics, towels, and hair.
Discontinue treatment and seek medical advice if you experience severe contact dermatitis, intense swelling, blistering, or symptoms of an allergic reaction. If you develop persistent or severe abdominal cramps or diarrhoea, stop application immediately and consult a doctor in person.
