Flushing Drugs   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #5053 of 5394 |
Many rosaceans are concerned about flushing and try any treatment aimed at
flushing avoidance. Sometimes rosaceans resort to anti-flushing drugs. I
discuss flushing in my new book, Rosacea 101, in Chapter 10, page 41.* In this
chapter I list some of the anti-flushing drugs that rosaceans report using that
have been prescribed by their physician:

Antihistamines, Clonidine, Epinephrine, Lanreotide, Megestrol acetate,
Monoxidine,
Propranolol (Inderal), Sandostatin LAR, Nadadol, Rilmenidine, and Veralipride

It has been suggested by some physicians that Remeron (Mirtazapine), an anti-
depressant, be used for anti-flushing according to a few anecdotal reports.**
One should carefully understand the risk/benefit ratio with taking anti-flushing
drugs for rosacea. Knowing the side effects and risks associated with Remeron
before one accepts such a treatment. Flushing avoidance is simply one treatment
for rosacea which I have listed in my new book in Chapter 5, Treatment, which
lists five categories of treatments for rosacea. Flushing and Trigger avoidance
is simply one way to treat rosacea. Rosaceans should know about the four
other treatments for rosacea which is basic rosacea 101 knowledge.
