Which blockers for facial redness in rosacea?

Dermatologists often prescribe so-called beta-blockers to their patients diagnosed with rosacea, which are designed to reduce the erythematous reactions that occur with this skin condition. If you want to read what other drugs dermatologists prescribe for rosacea – see here.

 

What are beta blockers?

In simple terms, they are drugs that inhibit the activity of the sympathetic nervous system and have an effect on almost the entire body. There are two types of such drugs – one has a stimulating effect, the other an inhibitory effect, depending on the reaction we need to get. The sympathetic nervous system works independently of a person’s will, so blockers block, as it were, the body’s automatic but undesirable reactions to various factors. These drugs are most commonly used for heart conditions, hypertension, coronary artery disease, thyroid disease and many others. One application is in dermatology and the treatment of severe paroxysmal redness, or erythrophobia, which occurs with rosacea.

A frequently prescribed beta blocker is, for example, Atenolol, which belongs to the group of beta blockers that are selective, i.e. block only β₁-adrenergic receptors.
