    Product description

    Gel "Duak" is used for local treatment of acne (acne vulgaris) of mild to moderate severity, mainly inflammatory elements, in adults and children over 12 years of age.

    Compound

    1 g of gel contains (active ingredients):

    anhydrous benzoyl peroxide (in the form of water benzoyl peroxide) - 50 mg;

    clindamycin (as clindamycin phosphate) - 10 mg.

    Excipients: carbomer, dimethicone, sodium lauryl sulfosuccinate, disodium edetate, glycerin, colloidal silicon dioxide, poloxamer, sodium hydroxide, purified water.

    Contraindications

    • hypersensitivity to the components of the preparation and lincomycin;
    • local enteritis, ulcerative colitis, or antibiotic-associated colitis (including pseudomembranous colitis) or their history;
    • age up to 12 years.

    Mode of application

    For external use only. Adults and children over 12 years old.

    The gel is applied once a day in the evening to the affected areas after thorough cleaning, rinsing the skin with water and drying. If the gel does not rub easily into the skin, it is an excessive amount.

    After applying the gel, you should wash your hands. The patient can apply a moisturizer as needed.

    In case of excessive dryness or peeling of the skin, you should reduce the frequency of use or temporarily stop treatment. When used with a frequency of less than 1 time per day, the effectiveness of treatment has not been proven. Apply the gel no more than once a day.

    Patients should be warned that increasing the amount of gel applied does not increase the effectiveness of the preparation, but increases the risk of skin irritation.

    For the appearance of a therapeutic effect, it may take from 2 to 5 weeks of treatment. The maximum course of treatment is 12 weeks.

    Application features

    Pregnant

    During pregnancy, the doctor can prescribe the preparation only when the intended benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the baby.

    During breastfeeding, the doctor may prescribe the preparation  only when the intended benefit to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the baby. To avoid accidental swallowing of Duak Gel by an infant when used by a mother during lactation, the gel should not be applied to the breast area.

    Drivers

    There have been no studies examining this effect. Given the profile of adverse reactions of the preparation, a negative effect is not expected.

    Overdose

    Excessive topical application of clindamycin / benzoyl peroxide can cause severe skin irritation. In this case, you should stop treatment and wait for the healing of irritations.

    When benzoyl is applied topically, peroxide is not absorbed at all in an amount sufficient to cause a systemic effect.

    Excessive topical application of clindamycin can lead to its absorption in an amount sufficient to cause a systemic effect.

    In the case of accidental oral administration, side reactions from the gastrointestinal tract, similar to those observed with systemic use of clindamycin, may occur.

    To reduce the symptoms of irritation in the case of excessive topical application, appropriate symptomatic measures should be taken. In case of accidental ingestion, appropriate clinical care should be provided.
