Oracea is Doxycycline 40mg and is expensive. Doxycycline 100mg is dirt cheap and
works much better IMHO. Cindy

ACZONE® Gel is the first new prescription acne medication to come along in 10
years. It is made from dapsone which has been used to treat Mycobacterium leprae
infections (leprosy), mucous membrane pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis,
Linear immunoglobulin A dermatosis, lichen planus, as well as other skin
conditions. It is also sometimes used to prevent Pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in
people who are immunosuppressed and to treat idiopathic thrombocytopenic
purpura. It is used prophylactically to prevent Pneumocystis pneumonia and
toxoplasmosis in patients unable to tolerate trimethoprim with sulfamethoxazole.
Dapsone is also used to treat Brown recluse spider bites. In December 2008, a 5%
dapsone gel called Aczone was intoduced to the prescription market as a
treatment for moderate to severe acne. I personally know a friend who had what
appeared to be a severe case of acne not only on her face but also over her
body. She was treated with the Aczone and
the results are incredible with a marked reduction in the acne. Aczone may be
prescribed by some physicians for rosacea, so we will simply have to wait and
see if we hear any reports. Allergan, Inc makes Aczone and is offering free
samples. For more info:
