    "President Trump takes medication for three ailments, including a prostate-related drug to promote hair growth, Mr. Trump’s longtime physician, Dr. Harold N. Bornstein, said in a series of recent interviews.

    The other drugs are antibiotics to control rosacea, a common skin problem, and a statin for elevated blood cholesterol and lipids."

  3. The topical use of oxymetazoline 0.05% solution in the management of rosacea has been primarily limited to data from case series involving fewer than 10 patients and demonstrating sustained improvements in both erythema and flushing. Alhough oxymetazoline is not recognized in national guidelines, an international consensus statement recognizes the possible therapeutic role of oxymetazoline in the management of rosacea, despite the limited evidence.

  5. Oxymetazoline is a vasoconstrictor which is commonly used in nasal sprays as a nasal decongestant. It works by causing the smooth muscle around blood vessels to contract, making the vessels smaller and less dilated. Thus it would appear to be a good candidate for treating rosacea.

    Indeed, the Rosacea International Expert Group has noted that topical oxymetazoline has a role in the treatment of rosacea and the group recommends its use.
    Studies have found that after applying oxymetazoline to the skin once a day, a decrease in redness was noted in 1 hour and the effect was sustained throughout the day. Continued application once a day over several months was associated with a marked improvement of rosacea symptoms. These results were sustained after prolonged use at 17 months.
    When compared to the other agents currently used, oxymetazoline presents fewer issues with potential side effects and its application results in a rapid improvement of symptoms.

    Border Compounding Pharmacy in Australia has formulated a 0.075% w/w oxymetazoline cream in an elegant, lightweight hypoallergenic cream designed for the face.

    A doctor’s prescription is not required unlike Rhofade (1%) which is a prescription drug. 

    Border Compounding Pharmacy is able to customise the cream to your specifications (for example, to manage sensitivities or if you do not wish to use specific particular ingredients).

    What is a compounding pharmacy?

    This information was posted by Flugs in post #9 about an email received from Border Compounding Pharmacy: 

    We can indeed formulate an oxymetazoline cream or gel in a variety of strengths. Oxymetazoline works by constricting the blood vessels in the surface of the skin, thus reducing the red appearance of rosacea. It works quite quickly – generally within an hour – and the effects last for 24 hours. It is important to only apply the cream once daily. 

    There is quite a bit of evidence to suggest that strengths of as little as 0.05% oxymetazoline are effective in reducing the redness associated with rosacea. It is generally a good idea to start with a lower concentration as higher concentrations can constrict blood vessels too much, blood flow is restricted and this gives the areas of rosacea a white appearance .

    We generally suggest a starting at 0.1% as this appears to give good results with minimal side effects. 
    As we are a compounding pharmacy and not a manufacturer, we are bound by a few restrictions(as is the case in the US/Uk/Ire). Firstly, we need to prepare the product specifically for the individual and it will have your name on a dispensing label. Secondly, we are only allowed to assign a one month expiry date to the product in line with Australian pharmacy law (manufactured products can have much longer expiry dates). However, it is formulated in line with commercially available products and we would suggest the product would be fine to use for a while after this.

    It is $49AUD for a 50g airless pump and international delivery is $30AUD. We can send an invoice via email, and when this is paid, we will compound the medication and send it off.

    Rhofade Approved by FDA • Rhofade Official Web Site

    "Topical oxymetazoline applied to the face once daily for 29 days was effective, safe, and well tolerated in the treatment of moderate to severe persistent facial erythema of rosacea." [1]

    "Expert commentary: While assessment of available clinical trial data indicates that the medication is as effective as other available treatment for controlling rosacea-associated erythema with minimal risk of adverse effects, studies of long-term duration and direct comparison will be necessary to establish its place in treatment guidelines and clinical practice. As further evidence becomes available, the real-world clinical potential of topical oxymetazoline cream will become clearer." [2]

    "For both QD and BID dosing, the efficacy of oxymetazoline 1.0% was greater than the 0.5% dose and comparable to the 1.5% dose. Safety and application-site tolerability were similar across groups." [3]

    Rhofade, also known as oxymetazoline hydrochloride cream (1 percent strength), is a topical cream made to treat persistent facial erythema (redness). Ask your dermatologist for a sample. 

    The odds in the clinical trials of potential side effects using Rhofade for four weeks are 1% and go up to 3% using Rhofade for one year. 

    There is a non prescription oxymetazoline ( 0.075%) topical cream available by a compounding pharmacy in Australia

    Please post your experience using Rhofade in this thread.

  8. Tom Busby wrote this tip about washing off Soolantra: 

    "The base for Soolantra is Cetaphil Cream, according to the patents. This is not Cetaphil Lotion --- the Cream has a little petrolatum and as a result is slightly more occlusive, so it's slightly more difficult to wash off completely. You might find it useful to spend more time washing it off, or use the water stream of a shower to assist in washing it off. It's useful for general skin health to clean the skin completely at least once per day, and occlusive creams make this task a little more difficult. It may be useful for you to spend more time washing your face -- just an idea though.

    People with very dry skin like occlusive creams more than other people. Since you asked about comedogenic, I guess you don't have very dry skin.

    Here are the ingredients in the Cream, if it's any help -- the () comments are mine: Purified Water, Polyglycerylmethacrylate (hydrogel), Propylene Glycol (increases penetration), Petrolatum (long chain carbon-oil), Dicaprylyl Ether (emollient), PEG-5 Glyceryl Stearate (emulsifier and stabilizer), Glycerin (humectant), Dimethicone (silicone), Dimethiconol (silicone), Cetyl Alcohol (emulsifier), Sweet Almond Oil (medium chain carbon-oil), Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer (hydrogel), Tocopheryl Acetate (synthetic Vitamin E), Phenoxyethanol (preservative), Benzyl Alcohol, Disodium EDTA (chelation), Sodium Hydroxide (activates 1st hydrogel by raising pH during the manufacturing process), Lactic Acid (lowers final pH)

    I speculate that the "1% line" in the ingredients comes after petrolatum, and that the petrolatum is about 1.5% to 2%. 

    Both silicones aren't soluble in oil or water, and they also make any cream more resistant to washing off."

    "The FDA approval of RHOFADE™ exemplifies Allergan's commitment to continuing to address unmet patient needs through innovation in medical dermatology," said David Nicholson, Chief R&D Officer of Allergan plc. "We know persistent facial erythema associated with rosacea is a challenge for patients and physicians and having options can help in treating the disease. RHOFADE™ is the first and only alpha1A adrenoceptor agonist approved for persistent facial erythema associated with rosacea in adults.

    "Rhofade will be available commercially from May 2017 in the U.S. Allergan claims that Rhofade is the first and only alpha1A adrenoceptor agonist approved for persistent facial erythema associated with rosacea in adults.,,The approval was based on two clinical studies both of which met the primary efficacy endpoint. The clinical trials, which enrolled a total of 885 patients, were identical, multi-centered, randomized, double-blinded, parallel-group and vehicle-controlled in moderate or severe patients aged 18 years or older. Both the studies demonstrated that Rhofade was more effective than vehicle in reducing persistent facial erythema associated with rosacea in adults."

    Rhofade, also known as oxymetazoline hydrochloride cream (1 percent strength), is a topical cream made to treat persistent facial erythema (redness), as opposed to the other symptoms of rosacea, like easy flushing, red bumps and pus pimples, skin burning, and sensitivity, explains Joshua Zeichner, a New York City dermatologist.  

    FDA Approves Rhofade Rosacea Treatment, by Sarah Kinonenat, Allure

    The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved oxymetazoline hydrochloride 1% cream (Rhofade, Allergan) for the topical treatment of persistent facial erythema associated with rosacea in adults. Persistent facial erythema associated with rosacea is "a challenge for patients and physicians, and having options can help in treating the disease," David Nicholson, Allergan's head of research and development, said in a news release announcing approval.

    Rhofade, also known as oxymetazoline hydrochloride cream (1 percent strength), is a topical cream made to treat persistent facial erythema (redness), as opposed to the other symptoms of rosacea, like easy flushing, red bumps and pus pimples, skin burning, and sensitivity, explains Joshua Zeichner, a New York City dermatologist.

    How does Rhofade work? Rosacea sufferers experience an overactivity of blood vessels in the face, which is why those with rosacea flush easier than others. Over time, the persistent flushing can lead to what Zeichner likens to fixed background redness. "Rhofade directly addresses this redness by constricting the blood vessels," he explains. teenvogue

    David Pascoe has an excellent article on Who Should NOT Use Rhofade. In another article, David reports, "Going on the published clinical data, basically one in 6 or 7 users of RHOFADE will have a 2-grade improvement in their facial redness, typically for 12 hours, and continuing for 29 once-daily uses."

    "Apparently, the entry of the RHOFADE, which will be commercially available from May 2017, may just be timely. For a while now physicians have not been able to efficiently address the facial erythema for lack of treatment options. The best they have been doing is helping their patients manage the triggers. That means the availability of RHOFADE is a plus to the delivery of their goals."

  11. "Terpinen-4-ol is used in multiple skin related diseases including blepharitis, rosacea, Demodex, meibomian gland dysfunction, chalazion and dry eye., as well as lid margin diseases. The compound exhibits miticidal, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antifungal effects. Terpinen-4-ol is the main component of tea tree oil,[2] which is steam-distilled from the leaves of the Australian native plant Melaleuca alternifolia. Because of its beneficial effects, the oil has long been used by the Aborigines for wounds and minor skin infections."
    Wikipedia

    "Using a reported in vitro killing assay to measure the survival time of adult Demodex folliculorum up to 150 minutes, we have screened serial concentrations of 13 of the 15 known ingredients of TTO [Tea Tree Oil] (ISO4730:2004) that were soluble in mineral oil and examined their synergistic relationships in killing mites. The most potent ingredient was then tested for its efficacy in killing Demodex in vivo.

    Results

    All ingredients exhibited a dose-dependent killing effect. Besides Terpinen-4-ol, the order of relative potency did not correlate with the order of relative abundance in TTO for the remaining 12 ingredients. Terpinen-4-ol was the most potent ingredient followed by α-Terpineol, 1,8-Cineole and Sabinene. Terpinen-4-ol, the most abundant ingredient in TTO, was more potent than TTO at equivalent concentrations and its killing effect was even observable at a mere concentration of 1%. Terpinen-4-ol exhibited a significant synergistic effect with Terpinolene, but an antagonistic effect with α-Terpineol in killing mites (both P < 0.05). In vivo, Terpinen-4-ol was shown to eradicate mites.

    Conclusions

    The above finding suggests that deployment of Terpinen-4-ol alone should enhance its potency in killing Demodex mites by reducing the adverse and antagonistic effects from other ingredients in TTO."

  15. "Pharmaceutical compounding (done in compounding pharmacies) is the creation of a particular pharmaceutical product to fit the unique need of a patient. To do this, compounding pharmacists combine or process appropriate ingredients using various tools. This may be done for medically necessary reasons, such as to change the form of the medication from a solid pill to a liquid, to avoid a non-essential ingredient that the patient is allergic to, or to obtain the exact dose(s) needed or deemed best of particular active pharmaceutical ingredient(s). It may also be done for more optional reasons, such as adding flavors to a medication or otherwise altering taste or texture. Compounding is most routine in the case of intravenous/parenteral medication, typically by hospital pharmacists, but is also offered by privately owned compounding pharmacies and certain retail pharmacies for various forms of medication. Whether routine or rare, intravenous or oral, etc., when a given drug product is made or modified to have characteristics that are specifically prescribed for an individual patient, it is known as "traditional" compounding." Wikipedia

    There is a difference between a pharmacist and a compounding pharmacist. Whether your insurance covers a compounding pharmacist is another matter you will need to investigate. A prescription from a medical doctor is usually required for the compounding pharmacy to make the prescription. The base ointment can be any type the pharmacist has available or prescribed by the physician. This is like the old fashioned pharmacist who has a motar and pestal

  16. Kalamazoo reports that her dermatologist in Spain prescribed a compounding pharmacist formula for rosacea that includes the following: 

    30 gram 'crema glucidica' (Spanish) for sensitive skin containing:
    1% metronidazol
    1% ivermectin
    0.5% hyaluronic acid
    5% vitamin PP (pellagra-preventive factor - vitamin B3 [niacin])
    0.5% glyceral acid

    Apply 1 to 2 times a day.

     In addition to the compounding formula above the dermatologist prescribed the following: 

    7 milligrams of isotretinoin taken orally once a day 

    metronidazole drops for ocular rosacea

    SPF 50 topical in gel format to prevent sunburn

    If any member tries this please post here. 

  17. The impact of other potential pathogens remains unsettled. For example, said Dr. Webster, European physicians accept completely that the Demodex folliculorum mite is the root of rosacea. "If you ask me, or many American dermatologists, it's less decided." Although D. folliculorum levels are elevated in rosacea, he explained, people can have heavy D. folliculorum colonization, but no rosacea, and vice versa. The fact that Demodex levels are highest in ETT rosacea counters the assumption that mites attack the hair follicles, causing inflammation and pimple formation, he added.

    "The issue is confounded by the fact that the anti-mite drug Soolantra (topical ivermectin, Galderma) works well in rosacea. But no one has fulfilled Koch's postulates by showing that killing the Demodex improves rosacea; that Soolantra lowers Demodex levels; and that patients who resist Soolantra have Demodex levels that don't decrease with treatment." One cannot assume that topical ivermectin works in rosacea by killing Demodex, he said, because antibiotics such as doxycycline work in rosacea through many non-antibiotic effects. Topical ivermectin also has anti-inflammatory activity, he noted.

    Also unclear, he said, is the contribution of Bacillus oleronius. This bacterium has been found to have antigens (chaperonin GroEL and aconitate hydratase) that excited the lymphocytes of patients with rosacea, but not in normal subjects.6 "It sounds like something's going on there. Also, the immune response to B. oleronius was found to be especially elevated in ocular rosacea. But we don't know that the antigens in this bug are unique to this bug. Much remains to be worked out. It's a stretch to conclude that the bug isolated from one mite of 40 studied is relevant. I'd be more convinced if these antigens are in Propionibacterium acnes or some known skin resident" that causes disease.
