ent compliance. Since it is commonly known that an inverse relationship exists between compliance and dosing frequency, this finding holds significant promise for successful treatment of the papulopustular form of rosacea targeted for treatment by anti- inflammatory dose doxycycline.

The study concludes that "anti-inflammatory dose doxycycline is the only tetracycline agent proven to be effective for the treatment of rosacea in pivotal phase III clinical trials and exhibits a pharmacokinetic profile that separates the anti-inflammatory effects from antibiotic activities."

"The advent of this systemic treatment for rosacea portends a greater population of patients who experience satisfaction from the regimen recommended by their physician because the therapy is easy to comply with and avoids the consequences of antibiotic exposure for a disease where it has not been shown that an antibiotic effect is needed," said Dr. Del Rosso.
