How to Order Prescriptions
Description
Clindamycin Phosphate 1.2% and Benzoyl Peroxide 5% Gel is a prescription topical medication used in dogs and cats to help manage bacterial skin conditions and follicular disorders.

The gel is applied directly to affected areas, delivering targeted treatment where it is needed most. Its convenient 45 g tube is well suited for localized skin care as part of a veterinarian-directed treatment plan.
