How it works — get your consultation in 4 steps

Acquiring a prescription treatment online requires a genuine medical evaluation. Hi-Doctor operates an asynchronous workflow compliant with European privacy standards and GDPR, requiring no phone calls or video appointments.

1. Complete the online questionnaire: Answer questions about your skin symptoms, previous acne treatments, and medical history.
2. Upload clear photographs: Provide close-up, well-lit photos of the affected areas so the doctor can grade lesion severity accurately.
3. Doctor review within 24 hours: An EU-licensed physician evaluates your file and decides if clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide gel is safe and indicated for you.
4. Receive your REMPE prescription: If approved, your REMPE (Receta Médica Privada Electrónica) prescription PDF is uploaded to your account and notified by email. Download the PDF, which can be presented at any EU pharmacy where the pharmacist may dispense the medication.

If the reviewing physician determines that topical Duac is not medically suitable for your presentation, the 40 EUR consultation fee is refunded in full if the doctor does not issue a prescription.

Who qualifies

Online consultations are designed for adult patients presenting with mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Eligibility depends on clinical indicators assessed during the questionnaire and photo triage.

• Eligible cases: Papulopustular acne with visible redness, inflamed blemishes, and comedones across the face, chest, or back.
• Age requirement: Adults aged 18 years and older residing in or visiting Valencia and the wider EU.
• Contraindications: Known hypersensitivity to clindamycin, lincomycin, or benzoyl peroxide, or a personal history of regional enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis.

Hi-Doctor's dermatology service is strictly topical. Severe nodulocystic acne, extensive conglobate lesions, deep scarring, and cases requiring oral isotretinoin or systemic oral antibiotics are out of scope and referred to in-person specialist care.

What Duac actually does

Duac gel combines two active agents: clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (available in 3% or 5% formulations). They work synergistically against inflammatory acne through complementary pathways.

• Clindamycin 1%: Inhibits protein synthesis in Cutibacterium acnes, reducing bacterial colonisation and calming inflammatory mediators.
• Benzoyl Peroxide (3% or 5%): Delivers direct bactericidal action through oxidative mechanisms while providing mild keratolytic activity. Crucially, benzoyl peroxide prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin, which is why topical clindamycin is not prescribed as a monotherapy.

Topical clindamycin paired with benzoyl peroxide is capped at a maximum 12-week course to limit the risk of bacterial resistance and cutaneous sensitisation.

Treatment Phase	Expected Response	Clinical Action
Weeks 1–2	Mild dryness, localized erythema, slight peeling	Apply once nightly; use non-comedogenic moisturiser
Weeks 3–6	Reduction in new pustules and inflammatory papules	Continue daily application; maintain strict sun protection
Weeks 8–12	Peak anti-inflammatory response and lesion reduction	Doctor evaluates progress; stop at week 12 to prevent resistance

Side effects and when to stop

Most cutaneous reactions are mild and resolve as your skin adapts during the initial two weeks. However, proper monitoring ensures patient safety throughout the 12-week regimen.

• Common expected reactions: Localised redness, skin flaking, dry patches, and a mild burning or stinging sensation upon application. Benzoyl peroxide also bleaches fabrics, towels, and hair.
• Sun sensitivity: Benzoyl peroxide increases photosensitivity. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen every morning while using this medication.
• When to discontinue immediately: Severe swelling, blistering, intense burning, hives, or the onset of severe abdominal cramping and watery or bloody diarrhoea (indicative of systemic antibiotic-associated colitis). Seek immediate medical evaluation if these occur.
