The pharmacologic therapy of rosacea: a paradigm shift in progress
Abstract:
A number of topical and systemic pharmacologic therapies, some of which remain investigational, have been used to treat rosacea. The pathophysiology of rosacea appears to be inflammatory, and most of the interventions modulate the inflammatory process in some way. Topical agents include various formulations of sodium sulfacetamide and sulfur, metronidazole, azelaic acid, and benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin. Oral agents include antibiotics in conventional and subantimicrobial doses. A paradigm shift in progress in the management of rosacea encompasses the use of these and other agents either alone or, increasingly, in different combinations, based on the subtype of rosacea.
