With the recognition in the 1960s and 1970s of the periodontopathic importance of the microbial biofilm and its specific anaerobic microorganisms, periodontitis was treated as an infectious disease (more recently, as a dysbiosis). Subsequently, in the 1980s, host-response mechanisms were identified as the mediators of the destruction of the collagen-rich periodontal tissues (gingiva, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone), and the periodontopathogens were now regarded as the "trigger" of the inflammatory/collagenolytic response that characterizes actively destructive periodontitis...

OBJECTIVES: This survey program was designed to evaluate patients' experiences with doxycycline, USP, 40 mg capsules (30 mg immediate release, 10 mg delayed release beads, ORACEA®; Galderma Laboratories, L.P.) as a treatment for the inflammatory lesions of rosacea and to provide patient-reported feedback to physicians. METHODS: This prospective, cross-sectional survey was implemented in January 2010. One thousand, two hundred and ninety-five physicians identified patients eligible for treatment with doxycycline, USP, 40 mg capsules and provided them with information about the program...

Rosacea is a common inflammatory disorder of the skin of middle-aged and older adults. A unique 40-mg formulation of doxycycline (30-mg immediate-release and 10-mg delayed-release beads) developed for its anti-inflammatory properties is the only US Food and Drug Administration-approved oral medication for the disorder. This report describes the results of the Oracea for Rosacea: A Community-Based Assessment (ORCA) trial, a phase 4 trial of the 40-mg formulation as monotherapy in adults with mild to severe papulopustular rosacea...

Rosacea is a disease of inflammation with no pathogenic bacteria involved. Successful treatment of rosacea is possible without using antimicrobial preparations. Oracea capsules provide the antiinflammatory benefits of doxycycline without contributing to the development of resistance to doxycycline.

Approximately 13 million individuals in the United Sates suffer from rosacea, a recurrent disease that may require long-term therapy. Topical and oral antibiotics have been used to treat rosacea; however, high-dose antibiotics or long-term, low-dose antibiotics commonly used for the treatment of rosacea flares or for rosacea maintenance therapy, respectively, can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant organisms. The first oral medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of rosacea in the United States is Oracea (CollaGenex Pharmaceuticals Inc...
