Acne Treatment – How Acne Medicine Works

admin — Mon, 03 May 2010 03:08:04 +0000

Dr. Thomas P. Habif, MD discusses Acne Treatment – How Acne Medicine Works. See more at http://www.dermnet.com PLEASE RATE AND COMMENT!!!
Mode Of Action Of Therapeutic Agents

Formation of the microcomedo or comedogenesis is thought to be the

primary process in the pathogenesis of acne. Excess desquamation of

follicular keratinocytes, abnormalities in sebum production and

migration of immune cells that release proinflammatory cytokines are

responsible for creation of the microcomedo. This lesion may evolve

into noninflammatory open and closed comedones.

P. acne bacteria proliferation in this sebum-keratinocyte mixture

generates free fatty acids which are comedogenic. They also induce the formation of cytokines that induce inflammatory cells to invade and

produce papules, pustules and cysts.

Acne treatments are designed to reverse abnormal desquamation of

epithelial cells, stop the proliferation of P. acnes and reduce the

excess production of sebum.

Reduction of Epithelial Desquamation

Topical agents that affect the desquamation of follicular epithelial

cells and have activity against comedogenesis are tretinoin,

tazarotene, adapalene, azelaic acid and salicylic acid. Topical

tretinoin reduces the numbers of microcomedones and comedones by

slowing the desquamation processes. Oral isotretinoin causes a decrease in the size of comedones and a

reduction their formation.

Topical and systemic antibiotics cause a small reduction in the number

of comedones. Salicylic acid has a week effect on comedogenesis.

Prevention of Proliferation of P. acnes

P. acnes proliferates in the lipid environment of the sebaceous

follicles. The bacteria is sensitive to many antibiotics. The problem

is to find agents that can effectively penetrate the lipid environment. Antibiotics kill the bacteria and inhibit the production of proinflammatory mediators by P. acnes that are not killed. Topical

agents with antibiotic activity include benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin,

erythromycin and azelaic acid.

Effective oral antibiotics include tetracycline, erythromycin,

doxycycline, minocycline, clindamycin, and trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole.

Reduction of Sebum Production

Topical therapies do not influence the production of sebum. Sebaceous glands are androgen-dependent therefore estrogens and antiandrogens are effective.

Low dose estrogen contraceptives are moderately effective.

Higher dose contraceptives with 50 or more of ethinyl estradiol or

other estrogens were used in the past and were more effective but had

more side effects. Spironolactone 25 to 200 mg per day reduces sebum production and can be very effective. Only women are treated with this antiandrogen. Isotretinoin profoundly reduces sebum production and results in prolonged remissions. A four-to-five-month course of therapy at an average dose of 1.0 mg per kilogram of body weight is required to obtain this effect.

The use of combinations of agents to attack every pathogenic factor is the most effective strategy for managing acne.

Robert Melamede on Endocannabinoids – OneRadioNetwork (Part 3 of 3)

admin — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 09:20:13 +0000

Dr. Robert Melamede: an expert on Endocannabinoids.

Dr. Melamede says that the Cannabis flower is the most effective and versatile medicine known to humankind. It’s an overall nervous system tune-up.

By our inalienable rights we should be allowed to use it and grow it even for personal therapeutic use, without a doctors approval. It’s good for us. If smoking bothers you than take a dose of the oil.
