Rosacea Medications

The standard rosacea medications are antibiotics, both internal (tablets/capsules) and topical drug preparations:

Rosacea Treatment: topical therapy, systemic therapy

Medication: Metronidazole

Medication: Sulfacetimide

Medication: Clindamycin

Medication: Tetracycline

Medication: Doxycycline (Vibramycin™)

Medication: Minocycline (Minocin™)

Other Antibiotic Agents

Skin problems almost invariably return if systemic rosacea medications are ceased.

Internal antibiotics also have the potential to harm the stomach over extended use and to bring about thrush in women.

This unsatisfactory situation problematizes the antibiotic treatment of rosacea.

Topical preparations may cause other skin irritations or an unsatisfactory cosmetic effect (generally the active ingredients are formulated in a very ordinary base), although they may temporarily clear the symptoms of the disease. They do not improve or support overall skin health.

Typically, topical antibiotics reduce in effectiveness over time and can give rise to secondary skin complaints, such as dehydration (or conversely, excess oilyness), eczema, psoriasis and dermatitis.
This decline in skin condition can be due to antibiotic resistance and a sort of "exhaustion" of the skin's own resources.

Regrettably, if this decline in skin condition occurs the responsiveness of the skin to any subsequent treatment is almost always slower or less impressive when compared to cases where the skin has been treated using naturally based rosacea treatment methods.

It is important to remember, however, that ineffective or inappropriate natural treatment is worse than partly effective drug treatment.

Beware that cortisone can worsen rosacea over the longer-term and make it even more resistant to treatment while accelerating the aging of the skin. They have a thinning effect on the skin's layers, further wearing down its natural defences and immune response.

The Rosacea Treatment Clinic provides an alternative to skin thinning steroids, indicated especially for rosacea, with none of the negative side effects.

Even though topically applied, cortisone is extensively absorbed into the bloodstream and can affect the liver.

These factors can be considered when determining a plan of action.
