Topical drugs for aging skin

Article Abstract:

Topical tretinoin and alpha hydroxy acids have both been marketed as treatments for photoaged skin. Ultraviolet light from the sun can combine with the normal aging process to produce photoaged skin. Several controlled trials have demonstrated the effectiveness of topical tretinoin in the treatment of photoaged skin. There is less evidence for the effectiveness of alpha hydroxy acids, which include lactic acid and glycolic acid. Topical tretinoin can cause burning, redness, itching and peeling. Alpha hydroxy acids appear to have fewer side effects. Estrogen and antioxidants may also be effective for treating photoaged skin.

Brinzolamide - a new topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor for glaucoma

Article Abstract:

The FDA has approved a drug to treat glaucoma and ocular hypertension. Both these conditions are characterized by increased pressure inside the eye. Brinzolamide, which is marketed under the name Azopt, was shown to be effective in two clinical trials. It appears to be as effective as the drug Trusopt, which is also used to treat glaucoma, and is slightly cheaper.
