Who qualifies

Asynchronous acne evaluations are designed for adults managing mild-to-moderate inflammatory acne vulgaris. To get Duac online in Tarragona through Hi-Doctor, you must be at least 18 years of age and submit clear photos alongside your medical history.

Hi-Doctor's registered physicians assess and prescribe topical dermatological therapies only. The available topical acne formulations include:

• Clindamycin 1% + benzoyl peroxide 3% or 5% gel (Duac): Indicated for inflammatory papules and pustules, strictly capped at a 12-week continuous course.
• Adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel (Epiduo): Combines a third-generation retinoid with an antibacterial agent to treat comedones and inflammatory lesions without oral antibiotics.
• Azelaic acid 15% gel (Skinoren): A dual comedolytic and antibacterial option frequently selected for sensitive skin, pregnancy, or darker phototypes prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Oral acne treatments—including oral isotretinoin and systemic antibiotics—fall strictly outside our telemedicine scope. Patients presenting with severe nodulocystic, conglobate, or scarring acne are referred to in-person specialist care.

What Duac actually does

Duac combines 1% clindamycin (a topical lincosamide antibiotic) with 3% or 5% benzoyl peroxide. Clindamycin halts bacterial protein synthesis, directly reducing Cutibacterium acnes counts within the sebaceous follicles.

Benzoyl peroxide introduces free oxygen radicals that eliminate bacteria and unclog pores. Crucially, the benzoyl peroxide component prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why topical clindamycin is never prescribed on its own.

Apply a thin layer once daily at night to clean, dry skin across the entire affected area. Expect an initial retinoid or treatment adjustment phase between weeks 2 and 6; true clinical progress is evaluated at 12 weeks, not before.

Side effects and when to stop

Topical clindamycin with benzoyl peroxide is generally well-tolerated, though localized skin reactions are normal during initial use. Common adverse effects include:

• Local erythema, peeling, stinging, and dryness.
• Increased photosensitivity to ultraviolet light and sun exposure.
• Contact bleaching of colored fabrics, towels, and hair.

Discontinue application and contact a healthcare provider immediately if you develop severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, or breathing difficulties. Although systemic absorption is minimal, persistent or watery diarrhea warrants urgent in-person evaluation.

Every document complies with the identification standards of Commission Implementing Directive 2012/52/EU. Pharmacists retain the independent professional right to refuse dispensing.
