This treatment isn’t suitable for you

Based on the answers you gave, Treclin gel would not be safe for you to use, so we haven’t taken any payment and your consultation will not proceed to checkout.

Why this happens

Treclin contains tretinoin, which must not be used in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and clindamycin, an antibiotic that isn’t safe for people with a history of bowel inflammation or antibiotic-associated colitis, or alongside oral isotretinoin (Roaccutane). These are hard safety rules — no reputable prescriber can supply Treclin in these situations.

What you can do instead

There are still good options for treating acne safely. Azelaic acid is a pregnancy-safe treatment that helps both spots and marks; adapalene is an antibiotic-free retinoid alternative for some situations; and if your acne is severe, nodular or scarring, the right route is a referral to a dermatologist — your GP can arrange this on the NHS.
