but you don't specify what medicines you are taking even vitamins could interact or herbals
yes,Benzoyl peroxide is used to treat mild to moderate acne.
When applied to the skin, benzoyl peroxide works by reducing the amount of acne-causing bacteria and by causing the skin to DRY and PEEL and it has many drug interactions ,you must tell your doctor what medications you are taking even herbals or vitamins before taking benzoyl peroixide
This medication may make you more sensitive to the sun. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning booths, and sunlamps. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors.
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
