Acne Vulgaris Cure: Zithromax

Zithromax is also known as azithromycin but it is most popularly referred to as the Z-Pack. Zithromax is a type of antibiotic that is related to erythromycin. It is commonly used to treat rosacea and acne vulgaris. However, Zithromax is rarely prescribed for acne. The more common ones are erythromycin, tetracycline, minocycline, clindamycin topical, and doxycycline.

The indication for Zithromax is for adults having mild to moderate acne. As an antibiotic, it can also be used to treat respiratory tract infection, strep throat, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, COPD, pneumonia, and sinus infections. It can also be used against infections of the urinary tract or cervix, including some sexually transmitted diseases. Zithromax can also be prescribed to kids to treat tonsillitis, strep throat, middle ear infection, and pneumonia. However, people who are allergic to this particular group of antibiotics shouldn’t use Zithromax or any other similar drugs without the guidance of their doctor.

A physician will prescribe the right dosage for you. But before he does that, he has to analyze you first and know your medical history. People suffering from kidney and liver diseases can’t use Zithromax. The same goes for people with Long QT syndrome. People with these conditions might need to use other types of drugs.

Zithromax might also produce side effects, even though instances of this are rare. Angioedema is the most common one of all and it includes the swelling of the neck, lips, neck, and face. As such, patients will experience impeded breathing, speaking, and swallowing when using the drug. It is also doable for anaphylaxis to develop, which is a violent, sometimes even fatal type of allergic reaction. The disease is also associated to serious skin diseases and might generalize immediately. If you notice any of these symptoms, stop taking the drug and consult with the physician immediately.

Zithromax is normally prescribed in a pulsed dose when used to treat acne vulgaris. This means that physicians could teach patients to use the drug for three days then stop for seven days and then proceed again for a total of three cycles. It is also doable for physicians to prescribe the drug in small dosages to be taken each other day for ten weeks or so. The effect of Zithromax is comparable to that of 100 mg of Minocin taken daily. Minocin is currently regarded as the most effective antibiotic for acne vulgaris.

Zithromax can also be prescribed according to the manufacturer’s dosage instructions. This pertains to taking the initial dosage of 500mg and then decreasing the dosage to 250mg regularly for the next five days. The treatment therapy has to be repeated each month until the physician tells you to stop. Another treatment approach is to take Zithromax in 2 pulses monthly, with the first one taken on their first day of the month and the other on the 15th. Zithromax has to be taken five days before menstruation so that flare-ups can be reduced drastically. Speak to your physician when considering Zithromax to treat Acne Vulgaris. It can be used as an substitute to the one you’re using right now, especially if you think that is becoming ineffective for you.

San Diego, CA, April 14, 2010 — A natural product found in both coconut oil and human breast milk lauric acid — shines as a doable new acne treatment thanks to a bioengineering graduate student from the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering. The student developed a smart delivery system published in the journal ACS Nano in March capable of delivering lauric-acid-filled nano-scale bombs directly to skin-dwelling bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) that cause common acne. On Thursday April 15, bioengineering graduate student Dissaya Nu Pornpattananangkul will present her most current work on this experimental acne-drug-delivery system at Research Expo, the annual research conference of the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering.
