(Percentages derived by # subjects with symptom score/# enrolled DUAC® Gel subjects, n = 397).
Anaphylaxis, as well as allergic reactions leading to hospitalization, has been reported in post-marketing use with DUAC® Gel. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
