The incidence of side effects with Epiduo gel was minimal and only 2% of individual had to discontinue the medication. The study revealed that Epiduo was well tolerated. The only side effects were minor skin redness and irritation.
Epiduo is very easy to use. A thin film should be applied on face, back, or upper arms after showering. If redness or skin irritation occurs, the drug should be discontinued for a few days.
Epiduo should not be used on skin that has been cut; sun burnt or if there is an infection. The gel should be avoided around eyes, nose, mouth and mucus membranes. After application of Epiduo, one should wear a sunscreen and avoid intense sunlight.
Final point: Epiduo does look to be a promising drug for acne. The drug is readily available but is somewhat expensive. The 45 g gel requires a prescription and costs about $50-$60.
For those individuals who have no more money to spend but already have topical accutane, perhaps they many want to combine it with benzyl peroxide for the best results. Benzyl peroxide is readily available without a prescription and is relatively cheap
