Show 6 A The Salt Lake Tribune, Friday, August 20, 1982 FDA Approves Acne Medicine Chicago Tribune Service A new medication for treating severe forms of acne will be available for use by doctors in The new drug, isotretinoin, has been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration as being safe and effective in treating cystic acne, a form of the skin disease that leaves patients with nodules and scars that can be extremely disfiguring. The drug, a modified form of Vitamin A, works by shrinking the sebaceous glands just beneath the skin surface. By shrinking these glands, which secrete oils that keep skin moist, isotretinoin dries the skin. In several studies this has resulted in clearing up most acne. Virtually everyone experiences some acne, and a variety of treatments, many sold without prescriptions, are effective, said Dr. Scott Glazer, a Buffalo Grove, 111., dermatologist who has conducted clinical trials with isotretinoin. The drug, to be manufactured under the trade name Accutane by Hoffmann-L- a Roche Inc., was 95 percent effective in causing improvement in the acne of 26 patients treated by Glazer. These patients were desperate, he said. They had been on all kinds of medication before. Some were almost suicidal. They wouldnt go to work. While it may not be as serious medically as, say, heart disease, this can be a much more serious problem to an individual because it is so visible. Where did you get those boots?
