Ortho Tri-cyclen Birth Control And Acne Treatment
Ortho Tri-Cyclen is the only birth control pill to be approved by the FDA to treat acne. When the word acne is used most think of it as an adolescent problem that goes way ones you grow up . Nothing could be further from the truth as adult acne is more prevalent than most people realize.
I m sure we ve all had the experience of trying all possible over the counter lotions, wipes, and cleansers during our youth to fight acne. We ve all remember most don t work or leave your skin in a very different state than before you used it. Then something magical happens one day it s just not as bad. Granted you ve gotten older so may be that was it. The one or two pimples you get are nothing compared to the horrors of the past.
Sorry to say that this isn t the case for a lot of people. Acne prevails in a large adult population. A study published in the October 1999 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology studied 749 people between the ages of 25 and 58 and 54% of women and 40% of men suffered from some form of acne. Additionally, adult acne didn t diminish until the age of 44
Women have more hope than men
First, acne is not caused by dirt and oil. Bacteria, every one has it on the skin, is the cause of acne and clogged, oily pores make and ideal environment for the bacteria to multiply. People who are hypersensitive to the bacteria get an immune response, similar to an allergic reaction, and the result is acne we all know says Guy Webster, MD, PhD, vice chairman of the department of dermatology at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia
Hormone manipulation (which is how the pill works) could be a solution for women. Ortho Tri-Cyclen, a birth control pill that's shown some success in treating adult acne, is approved by the FDA for treating acne. Ortho Tri-Cyclen reduces androgens (male hormones) and regulates a woman's hormones. All women have some level of androgens; an excessive amount can lead to acne. Unfortunately, hormones levels for women change drastically during the month and androgen levels can increase. This is believed to be the reason for flash break-out during the menstrual cycle.
Studies on Ortho Tri Cyclen
In the November 1997 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, a study on the effectiveness of Ortho Tri Cyclen as an acne treatment was published. 93.7% of the 247 women studied showed an improvement in completion. 65.4% of the placebo group showed improvement as well.
Does this mean you should run out and get Ortho Tri Cyclen to treat acne? It really depends on the individual and a doctor consultation.
There is hope and a lot of women have found that Ortho Tri Cyclen works well, others haven t.
