Question
Hi, I started a course of duromine yesterday and forgot to tell my GP that i take bactrim twice daily, as well as using differin gell at nights. Will any of these drugs used simultaneously have any adverse affects? Ive heard that duromine can cause breakouts, so I was hoping to stay on bactrim to prevent this.

Answer
Hi Amy,
We do not have Duromine here in Canada so I do not have any experience using it. Differin can be very irritating to the skin but that kind of irritation will not be resolved with Bactrim.
Thank you for using Allexperts
Sincerely,
