- Complete the medical questionnaire: Detail your acne history, current skincare regimen, and any previous treatments.
- Upload clear photographs: Provide well-lit images of the affected skin so the doctor can assess lesion type and severity.
- Doctor clinical assessment: An EU-licensed doctor reviews your file within 24 hours and issues a valid electronic prescription when clinically appropriate.
- Present at a pharmacy: Download the official PDF from your secure account and present it at any pharmacy in Zaragoza or the wider EU, where the pharmacist may dispense the gel.
Who qualifies
Duac is a prescription-only topical treatment indicated for mild to moderate inflammatory acne presenting with papules and pustules. To ensure patient safety, Hi-Doctor requires a photo upload alongside your clinical answers so the prescriber can grade your acne accurately.
Key qualification criteria include:
- Target presentation: Mild-to-moderate papulopustular acne on the face or torso.
- Age & Health Profile: Adults and adolescents aged 12 and older with no hypersensitivity to lincomycin, clindamycin, or benzoyl peroxide.
- Topical scope only: Hi-Doctor only provides topical dermatology treatments (such as Duac, azelaic acid 15%, and adapalene 0.1% + benzoyl peroxide 2.5%).
- Out of scope: Patients with severe nodulocystic acne, extensive scarring, or those requiring oral isotretinoin or oral antibiotics are referred to in-person care.
What Duac actually does
Duac combines two active ingredients in a single topical gel: clindamycin 1% (a lincosamide antibiotic) and benzoyl peroxide (available in 3% or 5% concentrations). Clindamycin suppresses Cutibacterium acnes, reducing inflammatory lesions, while benzoyl peroxide acts as a potent bactericidal and mild keratolytic agent.
Benzoyl peroxide is essential because it prevents C. acnes from developing resistance to clindamycin. Because of this resistance profile, clindamycin is not prescribed as a standalone monotherapy. The standard Duac treatment regimen is applied once daily at night and is capped at a continuous duration of 12 weeks.
Timeline: Retinoid purging or early skin turnover typically occurs during weeks 2 to 6; meaningful clinical improvement is judged at 12 weeks.
Side effects and when to stop
Most side effects are local and transient during the first month of therapy. Benzoyl peroxide oxidises fabrics, so ensure the medication is dry before contact with clothing or bedding.
- Common localized reactions: Erythema (redness), peeling, skin dryness, and mild burning sensations. These often settle as the skin acclimatises.
- When to reduce frequency: If moderate irritation occurs, discuss reducing application to every other night with your doctor or pharmacist.
- When to stop immediately: Discontinue use and seek urgent medical evaluation if you develop severe contact dermatitis, facial swelling, or significant abdominal cramping and watery diarrhoea (symptoms of antibiotic-associated colitis).
