Drug Interactions

Benzoyl Peroxide 10%/Clindamycin 2% Topical Cream is a specially formulated treatment for acne vulgaris. This unique combination of two active ingredients, benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin, synergistically works to reduce the number of acne lesions and enhance the overall appearance of the skin. Clinical studies have demonstrated that the combined action of these two ingredients is significantly more effective than the use of either ingredient independently.

It is crucial to understand that this product is not suitable for application on broken or irritated skin. Additionally, it should not be used concurrently with other topical acne medications to avoid potential adverse reactions. Patients are strongly advised to apply sunscreen while using this product, as benzoyl peroxide may increase the skin's sensitivity to sunlight, leading to photosensitivity.

Patients should also exercise caution to avoid contact with the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes. In case of accidental contact, the affected area should be thoroughly rinsed with water. If any irritation or other adverse reactions occur, it is recommended that patients discontinue use immediately and consult their healthcare provider.

It is always important to use this product as directed and maintain open communication with your healthcare provider to ensure the best possible outcome. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out for further assistance.
