Acne Drugs
To a large extent, the type of drug that might be prescribed for you will depend on the severity of your acne.
Normally a topical application (a cream or lotion) will be used for mild acne whereas more severe cases will be treated with systemic drugs (drugs that you take orally and that affect your whole body).
- Tretinoin e.g. Retin A – comes as a cream or gel. Reduces the number of blackheads and whiteheads but might irritate the skin.
- Benzoyl peroxide e.g. Acnecide, Brevoxyl, Panoxyl – comes as a cream or gel. Reduces the number of Propionibacterium acnes bacteria by some users are allergic and it may irritate the skin.
- Antibiotics such as erythromycin (Steimycin), clindamycin (Dalacin T), erythromycin & zinc (Zineryt) and benzoyl peroxide (Benzamycin) can all be effective on moderate to severe acne.
- Anti-androgens. For women (not men) a combined dose of an anti-androgen eg cyproterone acetate and an estrogen (ethinyl oestradiol) can be used to suppress the production of sembum.
- Retinoids – this is a Vitamin A derivative e.g. Roaccutane can also be used to cut down sebum production. It can be very effective but has a wide range of side effects which may include reducing liver function, nose bleeds, dry skin, muscle aches and hair loss. So it is usually only used as a last resort.
