VIDEO: Soolantra vs. metronidazole in relapse of rosacea

WASHINGTON — In a video perspective on the eve of the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting, Hillary Baldwin, MD, discusses a two-part study comparing Soolantra (ivermectin, Galderma) cream 1% with metronidazole 0.75% cream in treating patients with papulopustular rosacea.

Baldwin, director of the Acne Research and Treatment Center in Morristown, New Jersey, discussed the second part of the study, which looked at relapse rates in patients over 1 year. The ivermectin-treated cohort experienced a longer period of time between relapses, while the metronidazole-treated cohort experienced more relapses, Baldwin told Healio.com/Dermatology.
