Acne Drugs / Prescribed MedicationsAcne Drug Accutane - Isotretinoin noticeably reduces the production of sebum and shrinks the sebaceous glands, stabilizes keratinization and prevents comedones from forming. Isotretinoin works by altering DNA transcription and thus decreases the size and output of sebaceous glands, makes the cells that are sloughed off into the sebaceous glands less sticky, and therefore less able to form comedones. Isotretinoin is a medication used for the treatment of severe acne. It is sometimes used in prevention of certain skin cancers. It is a retinoid, meaning it is derived from vitamin A and is found in small quantities naturally in the body. Oral isotretinoin is marketed under various trade names, most commonly Accutane (Roche), Amnesteem (Mylan), Claravis (Barr), Sotret (Ranbaxy), or Roaccutane (Roche); while topical isotretinoin is most commonly marketed under the trade names Isotrex or Isotrexin (Stiefel). Prior to the development of isotretinoin, the mainstay treatment of severe acne was oral antibiotics such as the tetracyclines and erythromycin. While these drugs have proven efficacy, they worked against only one contributing factor of acne – the Propionibacterium acnes bacteria. The antibiotics gradually became less effective over time as more resistant strains of the bacterium became prominent. An early, effective treatment of acne was high doses of the fat-soluble vitamin A. At these dose levels (sometimes 500,000 IU per day) effects such as reduced production of sebum and dry hair could be noticed. However the vitamin also had many other prominent side effects which inhibited its widespread use. The development of the retinoic acid derivative isotretinoin (13-cis-retinoic acid), and its release in 1982 by Hoffmann-La Roche, was a great step forward in the treatment of acne. The synthetic compound provided better therapeutic benefit than vitamin A, while also producing fewer adverse effects. In February 2002, Roche's patents for isotretinoin expired and there are now many other companies selling cheaper generic versions of the drug. Today isotretinoin is usually prescribed after other acne treatments have failed to produce results. The treatment of acne usually begins with topical medications (e.g. benzoyl peroxide, adapalene, etc), followed by oral antibiotics (or a combination) and finally isotretinoin therapy. This is because other treatments, while less effective than isotretinoin, have been associated with far fewer adverse effects and lower cost. Contrary to the previous statement, if isotretinoin is taken at lower dosages, many of the adverse effects are diminished or non-existent. Women should consult a doctor about taking 5mg a day if there is a possibility of pregnancy. Isotretinoin is now available over the internet from countries where it can be dispensed without a prescription, at a much lower total cost. Isotretinoin noticeably reduces the production of sebum and shrinks the sebaceous glands. It stabilizes keratinization and prevents comedones from forming. The exact mechanism of action is unknown, however it is known that like other retinoids, Isotretinoin works by altering DNA transcription. This effect decreases the size and output of sebaceous glands, makes the cells that are sloughed off into the sebaceous glands less sticky, and therefore less able to form comedones. Isotretinoin is indicated for the treatment of severe cystic acne. It is also effective for hidradenitis suppurativa and some cases of severe acne rosacea. It is generally not used as a first-line treatment in moderate cases due to the potential adverse effects. It can also be used to help treat harlequin ichthyosis, and is used in xeroderma pigmentosum cases to relieve keratoses.
