A member asked:
Prescribed clindamycin ph. 1% lotion & tretinoin .025% for acne but appears to be getting worse. do generic brands work? acne only on forehead & chin
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Generic meds ok,: Acne Rx takes time to work and often the full benefit of the medication isn't seen for about 2-3 months. If you have just started Rx, I recommend giving it more time. If significantly worse, please contact the doctor that gave you the Rx. Additon of oral meds for a short time my get you through this period.
