Doctors' Answers to "Frequently Asked Questions" - Rosacea
[posted 08/22/1999]
Question: What are the adverse side effects to topical sulfur medication treatments (i.e. something for rosacea)
Answer: Some sun sensitivity(but rosacea also has this-so hard to tell) and allergic reactions if you are allergic to sulfa. An alternative is metroniadiazole topical gel.
Norvasc
Question: My husband developed Rosacea after taking Norvasc. Side effects were bloating, personality changes, and I did NOT like him on this medicine at all. He is now NOT taking it anymore and is now stuck with the rosacea for the rest of his life which I was not happy with.
Answer: I'd be surprised if the Rosacea was due to the Norvasc. However, we don't know what the cause is-except that it's a fairly common problem.
OTC Remadies
Question: Is there any available legitimate over the counter treatment for rosacea?
Answer: No. We don't even have great prescription medications;but, topical flagyl cream is used.
