Provides model prescribing information for essential drugs used in
the treatment of skin diseases. Emphasis is placed on skin diseases
commonly found in developing countries, since rural communities in
these areas continue to experience considerable disability,
disfigurement, and distress caused by curable or controllable
diseases. Some rare but life-threatening disorders, such as
pemphigus, are also briefly discussed. The aim is to provide
reliable guidelines for treating these diseases - safely,
effectively, and at the lowest possible cost - in the community and
knowing when patients must be referred for highly specialized care.
Though emphasis is placed on management using drugs in the WHO
Model List of Essential Drugs, the book also discusses prevention
through improvements in hygiene, nutrition, housing, sanitation,
and other environmental factors. The book has two parts. The first
briefly profiles common skin diseases, moving from parasitic
infections, through fungal, bacterial, and viral infections, to
papulosquamous diseases, pigmentary disorders, and malignant
melanoma. Conditions common in children, acne vulgaris, cutaneous
reactions to drugs, and urticaria are also covered. Each disease or
group of diseases is introduced with facts about its prevalence,
manifestations, and causes, followed by advice on prevention and
management, including recommended drugs and dosage schedules. The
second part presents model prescribing information for essential
drugs used in the treatment of skin diseases. Each drug is
described according to a common format which covers clinical
indications, dosage and administration, contraindications and
precautions, use in pregnancy, adverse effects, druginteractions,
and proper storage.
