Basics
Topical
combination therapies are part of the new wave of effective acne therapies. The
combination therapies join together a topical
antibiotic along with benzoyl
peroxide.
How
they work
The combination therapies take the mechanisms of action of the
topical antibiotics and
benzoyl peroxide and allow
them to work together. In doing so, there is actually a greater effect than using
each of the medication separately.
Types
of comination therapies
Combination therapies include Benzaclin gel, Duac
gel, and Benzacmycin gel.
Potential
side effects
The side effects include those seen in the separate ingredients
(topical antibiotics and
benzoyl peroxide)
