Zusammenfassung
Die Aknetherapie erfordert häufig eine dauerhafte Kombination von Wirkstoffen mit komplementären, aber unterschiedlichen Wirkungsmechanismen. Zur lokalen Behandlung der leichten bis mittelschweren Akne steht ein neues Kombinationspräparat zur Verfügung, das zwei der effektivsten Wirkstoffe, Clindamycin (1 %) und Benzoylperoxid (5 %), in einer galenisch stabilen, wässrigen Formulierung enthält (DuacR). Es hat antimikrobielle, anti-inflammatorische und komedolytische Eigenschaften. Die überlegene Wirksamkeit dieser Wirkstoffkombination im Vergleich zu den Einzelsubstanzen ist in mehreren Doppelblindstudien belegt. Ein wichtiger Vorteil des Kombinationspräparates besteht in einem raschen Wirkungseintritt, der vielfach bereits nach 2 Wochen zu einer klinisch erkennbaren, deutlichen Befundbesserung führt. Die hohe Wirksamkeit in Kombination mit der guten bis sehr guten Verträglichkeit und der einfachen, einmal täglichen Anwendung führen zu einer verbesserten Patientencompliance. Gleichzeitig wirkt die Kombination von Clindamycin und Benzoylperoxid einer bakteriellen Resistenzentwicklung gegenüber dem Antibiotikum entgegen.
Abstract
Acne therapy often requires continuous treatment with a combination of agents with complementary but different mechanisms of action. A new topical anti-acne drug combines two of the most effective agents, clindamycin (1 %) and benzoyl peroxide (5 %), in a stable, aqueous formulation (DuacR). The combination product has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and comedolytic effects. Several double-blind clinical studies have demonstrated that the combination is more effective than either individual agent. Clinical efficacy leading to marked improvement as early as week 2 is an important advantage of the combination. The high efficacy and good to excellent tolerability of the combination as well as the simple, once-a-day application encourages the compliance of acne patients. In addition, the combination of clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide is helpful to prevent the development of bacterial resistance against the antibiotic.
