Clindamycin + Isotretinoin

Introduction

Clindamycin + Isotretinoin is a combination medicine commonly prescribed for the treatment of acne and other related skin conditions. Clindamycin is an antibiotic that helps fight acne-causing bacteria, while Isotretinoin is a derivative of Vitamin A that reduces oil production and prevents clogged pores. This combination provides faster and more effective results compared to individual therapy. It is usually recommended by dermatologists for moderate to severe acne cases.

How Clindamycin + Isotretinoin Works

Clindamycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, stopping the growth of acne-causing bacteria. Isotretinoin reduces the amount of oil released by oil glands in the skin, preventing pore blockage and promoting skin renewal.
