| | DG DISPATCH - EADV: Differin (Adapalene) Less Irritating Than Other Anti-acne Treatments (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | Investigators outlined the results of the first study, in which 36 healthy subjects (26 men, 10 women, mean age 30 years) were given skin tests with Differin cream (adapalene) (0.01%); Differin gel (0.01%); Erylik gel (tretinoin/erythromycin); Isotrexin (isotretinoin/erythromycin); Aknemycin (erythromycin); or white petroleum. |
 | | The tests were conducted by applying a patch of each drug to either the back or the side of each subject, each day of the week, and then leaving them in place over the weekend. |
 | | The comparison might be viewed with some caution, however, since at least one of the drugs, Isotrexin (isotretinoin/erythromycin), for example, is most commonly used in the treatment of severe acne, while Differin (adapalene) is indicated for the treatment of mild and moderate acne. |
