FOR
IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“Plymouth
Pharmaceuticals® and Dermatologist launch new oral prescription
acne medication (Acunol™)”
“Acunol™,
a new medication for treating acne and rosacea, is born”
TULSA, Okla, December 11, 2006 -- Plymouth Pharmaceuticals®,
Inc.
announced today that it has launched a new oral prescription medication
for the treatment of acne and rosacea.
Dermatologist, Dr. Steven A. Smith, MD, FACP, based in Tulsa, Okla.
was searching for a better way to treat his acne patients and formulated
Acunol™ as a result. "Acunol™ is a safe biochemical
compound with fewer side effects than most prescription acne treatments
currently available, and it contains no antibiotics", Dr. Smith
said, a fellow of the American College of Physicians.
"Acunol™ is an antibiotic-free, prescription medication
for the treatment of mild to moderate acne and rosacea; the tablets
can be swallowed, chewed, or dissolved by mouth for easy usage by
any person", Miles Smith, the company's Vice President, said.
Side effects are few and Acunol™ has only minimal contraindications
(see prescribing insert). Acunol's price is competitive with other
prescriptions acne treatments, as well. McKesson and Cardinal Health,
two of the largest drug wholesale distributors have decided to stock
Acunol™; pharmacies routinely use one of these distributors
to fill a prescription.
A retrospective clinical case study in treating acne and rosacea
with
Acunol™ either in combination therapy or alone has been completed
with positive results; 8 out of 10 patients stated that their acne/rosacea
had improved at least moderately (data on file).
Acunol™ is an effective, inexpensive, safe, and easy to use
alternative to less safe, expensive, and largely ineffective prescription
acne treatments currently sold by most pharmaceutical companies.
