Detailed Description:

Nadifloxacin; a new topical antibiotic for the treatment of acne has recently been marketed in our country. Only a few studies on its use and effectiviness could be found in the literature. Nadifloxacin may be an alternative to other topical antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide or its use along with benzoyl peroxide may be more effective and rational to prevent possible future resistance.
