Abstract:
Some of the new therapeutic agents of the 1980s, such as acyclovir and etretinate, will have a long-lasting impact on the treatment of skin diseases. Others have seemingly fallen from grace after an initial period of popularity. This article reviews a number of new agents and provides sources of further information. As with all new treatments, any physician unfamiliar with a product should consult these references and the manufacturer's labeling.
