Isotretinoin Topical,Erythromycin

The oil-producing (sebaceous) glands of the skin overproduce sebum and the hair follicles become clogged with bacteria and dead skin cells, leading to redness, pimples, and pustules often seen in acne. Hormones, diet, stress and medications may worsen acne, too. Acne is commonly during the teen years, but can occur or persist into adulthood as well.

Isotretinoin (Absorica, Absorica LD, Amnesteem, Claravis , Myorisan , Zenatane ) Isotretinoin is a retinoid, a form of vitamin A, used in severe acne treatment. It is very effective but can also cause severe birth defects and other severe side effects. You will need to use 2 forms of birth control, meet with your doctor regularly, and participate in a risk management program called iPLEDGE while using this treatment. Alcohol consumption should be avoided during oral isotretinoin therapy. The combination may lead to unpleasant side effects like fast heart rate, flushing, a tingly feeling, and nausea and vomiting. This interaction is also called a "disulfiram-like reaction". Be sure to check your food and medicine labels to see if these products contain alcohol. Topical retinoid drugs such as tretinoin (Avita, Retin-A), adapalene (Differin) and tazarotene (Tazorac, Avage) do not have drug interactions listed with alcoholic beverages. Doxycycline ( Doryx , Oracea ) Doxycycline is an antibiotic in the tetracycline class used to treat acne vulgaris as well as blemishes, bumps, and acne-like lesions caused by rosacea. Alcohol does not usually change the effectiveness of doxycycline or cause unpleasant side effects. However, if you drink alcohol most days (chronically) it is possible that the levels of doxycycline might decrease, lowering the effect of your medicine. This occurs due to an increase of enzymes in your liver. Oral tetracycline and minocycline do not list interactions with alcohol. Discuss this interaction with your doctor, as a dose adjustment may be needed. Erythromycin (E.E.S.) Due to intolerable stomach side effects and possible resistance, oral erythromycin is infrequently used for acne treatment over a tetracycline. Erythromycin is used topically (applied to the skin) to treat acne, sometimes in combination with benzoyl peroxide. Alcohol when combined with oral erythromycin ethylsuccinate may slow gastric emptying. This interaction , which is considered minor, can delay the absorption of the antibiotic into the bloodstream and could lower the therapeutic effect. Your doctor may prefer you avoid alcohol if you are taking erythromycin ethylsuccinate or other erythromycin salts. It is not known if other erythromycin salts are affected in this way.

Spironolactone (Aldactone) Spironolactone (Aldactone) may be prescribed as an "off-label" option for women and adolescent girls if conventional treatments are not effective or you are not a candidate for isotretinoin. It works by blocking hormone effects in oil glands on the face. Spironolactone is not FDA approved for this use, but has been used for decades to treat acne. Using spironolactone and alcohol together may lower your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and changes in your heart rate. You should use caution when getting up from a sitting or lying position. These side effects may decrease over time, but let your doctor know if you develop these symptoms. These side effects are most likely seen when you first start treatment, following a dose increase, or when treatment is restarted after stopping for a period of time. Avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery until you are familiar with how alcohol may affect your use of spironolactone. This is not a complete list of all possible alcohol interactions with acne medicines. Always follow your prescriber's directions. Tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the medications you use, including over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.
