Combination Therapy

March 28th, 2006

Many times acne treatment consists of multiple medications working together. A recent study looked at combining a topical retinoid (Tazorac) with a combination medication (Duac) to see if the Duac added any benefit to just using the Tazorac alone.

The study showed that adding Duac to Tazorac helped to decrease not only the inflammatory lesions (pimples) but also the non-inflammatory lesions (blackheads and whiteheads).

So, this helps to substantiate the widely used hypothesis that using medications with different mechanisms of action helps to enhance acne treatment.
