Abstract: (6036 Views)
BACKGROUND
Antibiotics are commonly used in the treatment of acne vulgaris. Considering the rise of antibiotic resistance, alternative medications may be used in the main anti-acne armamentarium. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of oral azithromycin in the treatment of acne vulgaris.
METHODS
Database searches were performed in PubMed and Scopus using the keywords "azithromycin" and "acne".
RESULTS
Azithromycin 500 mg once daily for 3 days per week or in cycles of 10 days for 12 weeks are the most commonly used regimens.
CONCLUSION
Available experimental data suggest that oral azithromycin is an effective and well-tolerated option for treatment of acne vulgaris.
