How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Clindamycin 3%/Doxycycline 1% Topical Ointment is a semi-solid formulation that combines two potent antibiotics, clindamycin and doxycycline, designed for external application to the skin. This formulation is dispensed in a tube and provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of these therapeutic agents for localized treatment.

Clindamycin works by halting the growth of bacteria, while doxycycline inhibits bacterial growth. This dual-action approach makes this ointment effective in treating a variety of bacterial skin infections, including conditions such as acne, rosacea, and folliculitis. It also shows efficacy in treating fungal skin infections, such as athlete's foot and ringworm.

To use this ointment, apply a thin layer to the affected skin area twice daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider. The ointment should be gently rubbed into the skin until it is completely absorbed. Avoid covering the treated area with a bandage or other covering unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider.

It is crucial to use Clindamycin 3%/Doxycycline 1% Topical Ointment for the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve before completion. Discontinuing the ointment prematurely may result in the infection not being fully eradicated, and could potentially lead to the bacteria developing resistance to the antibiotics.

If you have any questions or concerns about how to use Clindamycin 3%/Doxycycline 1% Topical Ointment, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to ensuring you receive the maximum benefit from your treatment.
