Antibiotics for Acne: Oral and Topical. What is Acne? Acne vulgaris is a disorder of the pilosebaceous follicles of the skin. Acne is characterized by comedones, papules, pustules, cysts and scars. Types of acne: Noninflammatory or comedonal acne: blackheads (open comedones) occur in partially blocked pores; whiteheads (closed comedones) are slightly raised, skin- colored bumps, develop. Whiteheads are more likely to lead to the. Inflammatory acne: papules are inflamed lesions that usually appear as small. Antibiotics for Acne Treatment.
Antibiotics are more effective for inflammatory acne, than for non- inflammatory, because they have no effect on unplugging blocked pores, which are blackheads and whiteheads. Antibiotics can be taken orally or applied to the skin in the form.
When to expect an improvement? Any acne treatment should be used at least for 4 weeks before there is a noticeable improvement.
There is often a good. However, it can take up to 4. The main reason for a treatment failure is because some people think that medication is not.
How long to take antibiotics for acne? It is recommended to continue antibiotic therapy for a minimum of 3 months, and 6 months for maximum results. The treatment may be continued longer until satisfactory improvement is achieved. In some cases, antibiotics can be safely used for up to 4 years. Many dermatologists.
Oral Antibiotics Oral antibiotics are recommended for the treatment of moderate or severe inflammatory acne (papules. They work by killing the acne causing skin bacteria. Propionibacterium acnes and reducing inflammation.
Over time, the P. Then another antibiotic or alternative.
Tetracyclines: the best antibiotics for acne. Tetracyclines are the most commonly used antibiotics. They produce antibacterial effect by reducing the colonization of P. Additionally, tetracyclines exert direct anti- inflammatory effect and alter sebum excretion, resulting in a decreased accumulation of follicular free fatty acids. Tetracyclines are contraindicated in: Pregnant and or breast- feeding women as they cause discoloration and enamel hypoplasia of developing milk- teeth. Children younger than 8 years. Tetracycline. Tetracycline is the most widely prescribed antibiotic for acne.
The main problem is that tetracycline must be taken on an empty stomach to be fully effective. For persons who eat frequently, this can be very troublesome.
Dosage: The usual starting dose is 5. The dose can then be decreased to.
Doxycycline (Doryx®, Oracea®) Doxycycline is especially effective in treating inflammatory. Doxycycline is more lipophilic than tetracycline and has excellent penetration into the pilosebaceous unit. Doxycycline is better tolerated than tetracycline. However, it is more likely. Therefore doxycycline should be used with caution during the summer and in hot climates.
Patients with gastrointestinal problems can take Doryx® - - delayed- release tablets of doxycycline in the form of enteric- coated pellets. Doryx® causes fewer gastrointestinal side effects in comparison to capsules containing the powdered form. Dosage: 5. 0 to 1. Sub. Antimicrobial dose: 2. Doxycycline subantimicrobial dosing provides 8. Oracea®, a controlled- release formulation, is dosed 4.
Minocycline (Solodyn®) Minocycline has a long history of use to treat acne. It is the most lipophilic tetracycline, allowing greater penetration into sebaceous follicles. Minocycline is effective in treating acne that has not responded to other oral antibiotics. It is especially useful for pustular type acne.
Minocycline seems to produce fewer incidents of antibiotic resistance. It can be taken with or without food. Safety concerns: Minocycline is known to cause bluish- gray skin pigmentation, vestibular toxicity, and various autoimmune reactions (lupus, autoimmune hepatitis, serum sickness, vasculitis, and pneumonitis). Dosage: The usual starting dose is 5. Solodyn® is an extended- release formulation of minocycline for once- daily dosing. See also Doxycycline versus minocycline for acne. Lymecycline (Tetralysal®)Lymecycline is used outside of the US for acne.
It is very popular among dermatologists in France, Italy, and Nordic countries. Lymecycline is generally safe and well tolerated.
Dosage: 3. 00- 6. Other antibiotics. Trimethoprim- Sulfamethoxazole (TMP- SMX)Trimethoprim- Sulfamethoxazole (Co- trimoxazole, Bactrim®) may be a reasonable treatment for refractory acne.
It is not approved by the US FDA for acne vulgaris. Sulfamethoxazole use in dermatologic conditions is limited because of possible serious adverse reactions, such as Stevens- Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis, and blood dyscrasias. In practice these serious side effects are infrequent, the most common side effect being a maculopapular rash. Dosage: 1. 60 mg/8. Erythromycin. Given the widespread resistance of P. Dosage: 5. 00 mg twice daily.
Azithromycin Azithromycin has been widely prescribed to treat acne in recent years. Because azithromycin is effective at doses given 1 to 3 times weekly, it may be a good option for adolescents with poor compliance. It is a valid alternative for patients intolerant or unable to take tetracyclines for various reasons. Dosage: 5. 00 mg once- thrice weekly. Clindamycin. Oral clindamycin is an effective treatment, but it is rarely used to treat acne because of possible serious side effects.
Clindamycin may cause overgrowth of Clostridium diffıcile resulting in pseudomembranous colitis. About 2. 0- 3. 0% of patients taking oral clindamycin experience diarrhea. Dosage: 3. 00 mg 3 times per day. Topical Antibiotics. Topical antibiotics are effective for treating mild to moderate inflammatory acne. Topical antibiotics work by killing the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. This also indirectly keeps the pores open.
Clindamycin (Cleocin- T®, Clinda- Derm®) Topical clindamycin is indicated for the treatment of acne. It works by suppression of the growth of P. In topical. form, clindamycin has proven to be safe and is well tolerated. Topical clindamycin decrease inflammatory acne lesions better than oral tetracycline.
Topical clindamycin comes in various vehicles, including gel, lotion, solution and foam. Clindamycin and Benzoyl Peroxide (Acanya®, Benza. Clin®, Duac®) Clindamycin phosphate 1. Clindamycin may work synergistically with benzoyl peroxide by increasing free- radical formation. Clindamycin and Tretinoin (Ziana®, Veltin®, Biacna™)Clindamycin phosphate 1. FDA in 2. 00. 6 for the treatment of acne vulgaris. The gel combines the anti- inflammatory and antibacterial properties of clindamycin with beneficial comedolytic effects of tretinoin.
This combination is very well- tolerated and has a low incidence of irritation. Noticeable improvement in acne is usually seen after 1. Erythromycin (Akne- mycin®, Erygel®, Ery®)Topical erythromycin is an antimicrobial and anti- inflammatory. The combination. of topical erythromycin with benzoyl peroxide proves to be quite effective. Like topical clindamycin. Erythromycin is safe for use by pregnant women.
Erythromycin and Benzoyl Peroxide (Benzamycin®)Erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide combination is indicated for the treatment of acne. Benzoyl peroxide is an antibacterial agent with keratolytic and desquamative properties. This combination produces keratolytic and comedolytic effects. Antibiotics NOT recommended for acne. Penicillins, cephalosporins, and aminoglycosides have a very limited ability to penetrate microcomedones due to their hydrophilicity, and are therefore NOT recommended for the treatment of acne.
