Patients should be advised that excessive application will not improve
efficacy, but may increase
the risk of skin irritation. If excessive dryness or peeling occurs,
frequency of application should be
reduced or application temporarily interrupted (see section 4.4).
An effect on inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions may be seen as
early as week 2-5 of
treatment (see section 5.1).
The safety and efficacy of Duac Gel has not been studied beyond 12
weeks in acne vulgaris clinical
trials.
Treatment with Duac Gel should not exceed more than 12 weeks of
continuous use.

The safety and efficacy of Duacgel has not been established in
children under 12 years of age,
therefore Duac gel is not recommended for use in this population.

Duac Gel should be applied in a thin film after washing gently with a
