Galderma Announces Availability of Epiduo(TM) Gel, the First and Only Combination Treatment with a Retinoid and Benzoyl Peroxide to Treat Acne
Date:1/6/2009

Epiduo(TM) Gel Combines Retinoid and Benzoyl Peroxide in a Single Product; Performs Better than Either Component Alone

FORT WORTH, Texas, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Galderma Laboratories, L.P. today announced the availability of Epiduo(TM) (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) Gel 0.1% / 2.5%, the first and only, once-daily, topical acne treatment that combines the well-tolerated retinoid adapalene, and benzoyl peroxide, a well-known antimicrobial with no evidence of promoting bacterial resistance.

By combining the two effective medications into one product, Epiduo(TM) Gel treats both inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions with no evidence of promoting antibiotic resistance, simplifying the management of mild-to-moderate acne. Additionally, studies indicate that Epiduo(TM) Gel is more efficacious than either of its components used alone and significantly reduces total acne lesions by approximately 18 percent as early as the first week of treatment.

Epiduo(TM) Gel also helps reduce the complexity of acne management by reducing the number of medications a patient has to remember to take on a daily basis, potentially increasing treatment adherence. The easy-to-apply Gel requires use only once a day.

"By targeting three out of the four causes of acne in a single medication, Epiduo(TM) Gel offers doctors and patients an efficacious, easy-to-use tool to tackle mild-to-moderate acne," said Dr. Linda Stein Gold, director of clinical research and di
