Q&A: Long-Term Medication & Craving Triggers
Q. If I take long-term medication consistently, will it lose its effectiveness?
A. Topical therapy is commonly prescribed to control rosacea on a long-term basis, and no evidence has suggested that it loses effectiveness. A long-term controlled clinical study found that 77 percent of rosacea patients consistently using topical metronidazole remained in remission, while 42 percent of patients using no therapy had relapsed within six months.
