Erythromycin and clindamycin are the most common used topical antibiotics for the treatment of acne [14]. Topical antibiotics have a bacteriostatic and bactericidal effect, reducing P. acnes colonization of the sebaceous follicle. However, topical antibiotics have not to be used in monotherapy due to the high risk of increasing P. acnes resistance. The development of resistance is less frequent in patients who are treated with combination therapy (benzoyl peroxide/erythromycin benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin). These associations enhance the bactericidal effect, reducing the risk of drug-resistance. [Pg.100]

Adverse effects are generally mild and include dryness, erythema, and itching.18 Although rare and seen most often with oral therapy, pseudomembranous colitis can occur with the use of topical clindamycin.19 As with any antibacterial agent, the possibility of resistance exists with the use of topical erythromycin. However, co-administration of erythromycin and benzoyl peroxide has been shown to decrease the incidence of resistance, as well as to improve symptoms of mild to moderate inflammatory acne.20...

Development of P. acnes resistance to erythromycin may be reduced by combination therapy with benzoyl peroxide. [Pg.196]

Erythromycin has efficacy similar to tetracycline, but it induces higher rates of bacterial resistance. Resistance may be reduced by combination therapy with benzoyl peroxide. Erythromycin can be used for patients who require systemic antibiotics but cannot tolerate tetracyclines, or those who acquire bacterial resistance to tetracyclines. The usual dose is 1 g/day with meals to minimize GI intolerance. [Pg.197]

Topical agents with minimal pregnancy risk include bacitracin, benzoyl peroxide, ciclopirox, clindamycin, erythromycin, metronidazole, mupi-rocin, permethrin, and terbinafine. [Pg.371]

Clindamycin is active against Propionibacterium acnes. Erythromycin alone and in combination with benzoyl peroxide is used in the treatment of acne vulgaris. Topical metronidazole is effective in the treatment of acne rosacea. [Pg.449]

To decrease the likelihood of irritation, application should be limited to a low concentration (2.5%) once daily for the first week of therapy and increased in frequency and strength if the preparation is well tolerated. Fixed-combination formulations of 5% benzoyl peroxide with 3% erythromycin base (Benzamycin) or 1% clindamycin (BenzaClin) appear to be more effective than individual agents alone. [Pg.1296]

Resistant strains of P. acnes are emerging that may respond to jndicions nse of retinoids in combination with antibiotics. Commonly nsed topical antimicrobials in acne inclnde erythromycin, clindamycin (Cleocin-t), and benzoyl peroxide and antibiotic-benzoyl peroxide combinations (Benzamycin, Benzaclin, others). Other antimiaobials nsed in treating acne inclnde sulfacetamide (Klaron), sulfacetamide/sulfur combinations (Snlfacet-R), metronidawie (Metrocream, Metro-Gel, noritate), and azelaic acid (Azelex). Systemic therapy is prescribed for patients with more extensive disease and acne that is resistant to topical therapy. Effective agents inclnde tetracycline (snmycin, others), minocycline (MINO-CIN, others), erythromycin (ERYC, others), clindamycin (CLEOCIN), and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (bactrim, others). Antibiotics nsnally are administered twice daily, and doses are tapered after control is achieved. [Pg.104]

Oil acne is treated with the usual acne vulgaris modalities, such as topical benzoyl peroxide and retinoic acid. Systemic treatment is often needed with tetracycline, erythromycin or minocycline, or with isotretinoin in severe cases. The key factor is avoiding contact with oils and grease. Work clothes should be changed daily and frequent cleansing of the skin with soap and water is advised. [Pg.225]
