Comparison of Safety and Efficacy of Tazarotene 0.1% Plus Clindamycin 1% Gel vs. Adapalene 0.1% Plus Clindamycin 1% Gel in the Treatment of Facial Acne Vulgaris: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The combination therapy of retinoid and clindamycin for acne is preferred because it targets multiple areas of acne pathogenesis that could not be accomplished with monotherapy, thereby improving outcome. Literature review reveals that till date there is no published comparative study assessing safety and efficacy of tazarotene plus clindamycin and adapalene plus clindamycin. So the present study has been designed to compare these two combination therapy in acne vulgaris.
