Stievamycin is a topical medication that is
an exceptional treatment for acne vulgaris, primarily where comedones,
papules and pustules predominate. This product can easily be given a 4
star rating for its special use.
Each gram of
Stievamcin gel contains tretinoin USP 0.05 % and erythromycin USP 4.0 %
in an alcohol gel base. Other non-medicinal ingredients are BHT, ethyl
alcohol and hydroxypropyl cellulose. Acne vulgaris is the impaction plus
distention of the sebaceous follicles by tightly packed horny cells and
disruption of the follicular epithelium.
It has been shown that
tretinoin inhibits the synthesis or quality of the substance which binds
the horny cells within the sebaceous follicle. Stievamycin, generally
used in the treatment of acne vulgaris, is not that effective in most
cases of severe pustular and deep cystic nodular varieties of acne.
This
medicine has been rated by its customers as pretty ok. It sometimes
makes the skin look raw and red. Otherwise, it is a good medication.
