5. INH
December 4th, 2007 Posted in Fighting Acne
INH or Isoniazid is typically used for treating TB or tuberculosis. Although tuberculosis represents a disease that was thought to have been largely eradicated, it experienced resurgence in the late 1980s among the poor and homeless populations, as well as in patients suffering from AIDS.
Known for being a disease triggered by poverty and the inexistence of a strict hygiene, tuberculosis continues to represent a real health problem also today. Unfortunately INH, which is a medication typically used against this terrible disease, could trigger also acne, as a side effect.
