Which Emerging Market Trends Are Altering The Acne Drugs
The acne drug sector is currently influenced by the trend of combination therapy. This approach consists of mixing two medications with different action mechanisms. Such a mix is acclaimed for the superior performance and adherence compared to monotherapy (utilizing just a single drug on its own). Acne drugs are regularly treated with a mix of a topical retinoid drug, designed to unclog pores, and an antimicrobial drug, applied to manage infections. Epiduo, Acanya, Ziana, and Benzamycin are examples of combination therapy, produced by Galderma, Allergan, Medicis, and Atrix respectively.
