A member asked:
Is it fine to switch from duac to benzamycine for acne because i can't afford duac anymore.i have used benzamycine before so can i become immune to it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Duac & Benzamycin are very similar medications. Both have benzoyl peroxide, but they have different antibiotic components ( clindamycin vs erythromycin).Bacteria can develop resistance to erythromycin & clindamycin.
