  • Azelaic Acid
    Azelaic Acid (FINACEA) Topical Foam 15% National Drug Monograph August 2016 VA Pharmacy Benefits Management Services, Medical Advisory Panel, and VISN Pharmacist Executives The purpose of VA PBM Services drug monographs is to provide a focused drug review for making formulary decisions. Updates will be made when new clinical data warrant additional formulary discussion. Documents will be placed in the Archive section when the information is deemed to be no longer current. FDA Approval Information Description/Mechanism of Azelaic acid is a naturally occurring C9-dicarboxylic acid that is found in plants Action (such as whole grain cereals), animals and humans. Azelaic acid has antiinflammatory, antioxidative and antikeratinizing effects. In rosacea skin, azelaic acid decreases cathelicidin levels and kallikrein 5 (KLK5) activity and possibly inhibits toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) expression.1 A 15% gel formulation has been marketed for rosacea, and 20% cream has been available for acne vulgaris. The newer foam formulation consists of an oil- in-water emulsion and was designed to have a higher lipid content than the gel for dry and sensitive skin. Indication(s) Under Review Topical treatment of inflammatory papules and pustules of mild to moderate in This Document rosacea. Dosage Form(s) Under Foam, 15% Review REMS REMS No REMS Postmarketing Requirements See Other Considerations for additional REMS information Pregnancy Rating Category B Executive Summary Efficacy There have been no head-to-head trials comparing the foam and gel formulations of azelaic acid in terms of safety, tolerability and efficacy in the treatment of papulopustular (PP) rosacea.. In two major randomized clinical trials, azelaic acid foam produced small benefits over vehicle foam in achieving Investigator’s Global Assessment (IGA) treatment success (NNTs of 9.2 and 11.5) and in reducing inflammatory lesion counts.

GOAL: Pediatricians should initiate treatment for cases of “Mild” to “Severe” acne (see algorithms attached). Pediatricians should also counsel patients in order to maximize adherence to acne treatment regimens: 1. Realistic expectations. Patients should be counseled that topical therapies typically take up to 6-8 weeks to start seeing results.

  • Long-Term Use of Spironolactone for Acne in Women: a Case Series of 403 Patients
    Long-term use of spironolactone for acne in women: A case series of 403 patients Vaibhav Garg, BS,a JulianaK.Choi,MD,PhD,b William D. James, MD,b and John S. Barbieri, MD, MBAb Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Background: There are limited data regarding the long-term outcomes of spironolactone use for women with acne and its effect on truncal acne. Objective: To comprehensively describe outcomes of patients treated with spironolactone in routine clinical practice, including long-term outcomes. Methods: We performed a retrospective case series of 403 adult women treated for acne with spironolactone at an academic medical center between 2008 and 2019. Rates of objective, as assessed by Comprehensive Acne Severity Scale scores, and subjective acne clearance were evaluated, as well as rates of treatment discontinuation, dosage changes, and drug survival. Logistic regression was used to assess for association between incidence of menstrual adverse effects and combined oral contraceptive use. Results: As evaluated by Comprehensive Acne Severity Scale scores, at the first follow-up, 75.5%, 84.0%, and 80.2% of patients with available data had reduction or complete clearance of acne on the face, chest, and back, respectively. The mean drug survival was 470.7 days. Menstrual adverse effects were less common among those using combined oral contraception (odds ratio, 0.23; 95% confidence interval, 0.11-0.50). Limitations: This study was conducted at a single academic medical center. Conclusions: Spironolactone improves clinical outcomes and is well tolerated for many adult women with acne using it for an extended duration. ( J Am Acad Dermatol 2021;84:1348-55.) Key words: acne; acne vulgaris; birth control pill; combined oral contraceptive; comprehensive acne severity scale; oral antibiotics; outcomes; spironolactone.

  • Isotretinoin (Accutane) and Pregnancy
    Isotretinoin (Accutane®) This sheet talks about exposure to isotretinoin in a pregnancy or while breastfeeding. This information should not take the place of medical care and advice from your healthcare provider. What is isotretinoin? Isotretinoin is a prescription medication taken by mouth to treat severe cystic acne that has not responded to other treatments. Isotretinoin is a form of Vitamin A. It has been sold under brand names such as Accutane®, Absorica®, Amnesteem®, Claravis®, Epuris®, Clarus®, Myorisan®, Sotret®, and Zenatane®. How long after a woman stops taking isotretinoin should she wait to become pregnant? How long does isotretinoin stay in the body? It is recommended that a woman wait one month after stopping isotretinoin before trying to become pregnant. Usually, isotretinoin is no longer found in a woman’s blood 4-5 days after the last dose and most of its by-products should be gone within 10 days after the last dose. However, the time it takes isotretinoin to be cleared from the body can be longer in some people, which is why it is recommended to wait at least one month after stopping isotretinoin before trying to become pregnant. Can isotretinoin make it more difficult to get pregnant? Women who are trying to become pregnant should not be taking isotretinoin. There have been reports of irregular menstrual periods in some women taking isotretinoin. There are no reports of problems getting pregnant while taking isotretinoin. I just found out I am pregnant. Should I stop taking isotretinoin? Stop taking the medication right away. As soon as possible, call the healthcare provider who prescribed the isotretinoin and the healthcare provider who will be taking care of you during your pregnancy.

  • Isotretinoin for Neuroblastoma
    Isotretinoin for Neuroblastoma Isotretinoin (EYE so TRET in oin) is a form of vitamin A that is very concentrated. It can only be obtained by prescription. The oily liquid comes in a soft capsule. Brand names for this medicine are Amnesteem®, Absorica®, Claravis®, Myorisan® and Zenatane®. Isotretinoin is used to treat neuroblastoma, the most common type of cancer in children. This medicine is given along with other immunotherapy (cancer fighting) drugs during the active stage of illness. It may also be ordered to be taken during the maintenance phase of therapy. Usually isotretinoin is given after the child has received the medicine 131I- Metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) and has had a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT). Warnings If your child is allergic to retinoids, he should not take this medicine. When handling this drug, extreme care needs to be followed by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Isotretinoin can cause severe birth defects and can pass into breast milk. Someone else will need to give this medicine to your child. Because of the dangers of birth defects with isotretinoin, your child, your child’s doctor, and your pharmacy must register with the iPLEDGE™ program. To do this, go to www.ipledgeprogram.com. Failure to register means that your child will not get the medicine. When your child needs more medicine, the doctor will have to write a new prescription each time. How to give Isotretinoin can be given by mouth whole, buried in food whole, or dissolved and mixed with food. Always wear disposable gloves if there is a risk of touching the liquid inside the capsule.
