I'm wondering if clindamycin phosphate gel works well for oily, acne-prone skin. I tried it because a doctor recommended it to me, but I haven't noticed any improvement. I checked with a dermatologist in Jaipur who mentioned that it might not be effective due to hormonal changes, especially since I recently got married. Does that sound right to you? Is there something else I should consider?

I recently got Glutathione through an IV, and today I drank an iced americano. I'm really worried that the caffeine might cause me to just pee out all the Glutathione because it's a diuretic. Is there any truth to that? Will the Glutathione be wasted because of the caffeine? I'm definitely concerned about this.

While caffeine can have a diuretic effect, it does not necessarily mean that the glutathione will be completely wasted. To help maximize the benefits of the glutathione injection, you can try to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Additionally, you may consider taking a supplement like Vitamin C to help support the effects of glutathione in your body.
