BOSTON — A fixed-dose triple combination topical gel formulation of clindamycin phosphate, benzoyl peroxide and adapalene reduced more than 70% of acne lesions in phase 2 and 3 trials, according to a poster presentation.
“A three-pronged approach to acne treatment — combining an antibiotic, antibacterial and retinoid — may provide greater efficacy and tolerability than single/double treatments while potentially reducing antibiotic resistance and increasing compliance,” Linda Stein Gold, MD, of Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, and colleagues wrote.
