`

`

`
`Q
`
`What's involved in maintaining a board
`
`certification in dermatology?
`
`A
`
`Continuing medical education. There are

`
`credits every year?
`
`A
`
`Right. Every ten years you need to
`
`retake the board exam.
`
`Q
`
`You said that you were teaching when you
`
`were an assistant professor. You taught courses
`
`in dermatology as well as in cell and molecular
`
`physiology; is that right?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`No.
`
`Did you ever teach any courses in
`
`dermatology?

`
`Yes.

`
`At the patient bedside, diagnosis,
`
`clinical findings.
`
`I gave lectures to the
`
`residents in their morning conference.
`
`I gave
`
`lectures to medical students in their large group
`
`sessions.
`
`I taught medical students at the
`
`bedside.
`
`Q
`
`And just to clarify, have you ever
`
`taught any courses in cell and molecular
`
`physiology?
`
`I don't remember.
`
`Okay. That's fine.
`
`Can you show me what
`

`

`
`Did these take place while you were
`

`
`before that, since you were in private practice?
`
`I guess in what time frame did these clinical
`
`trials take place?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Through the past ten years.
`
`So before you were associated with the

`
`Got it.
`

`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`

`
`In these trials, are you looking at --
`

`
`In your clinical trials, have you ever
`
`looked at the efficacy of treatments?
`
`A
`

`
`Yes.
`
`Have you ever looked at the safety of
`
`treatments?
`
`A
`

`
`Yes.
`
`You've put yourself forward or Amneal
`

`
`Yes.
`

`
`Current trends in research?
`
`I'm not

`
`A
`

`
`Yes.
`

`
`A

`
`I was in clinic one day per week.
`
`And you were seeing patients for
`
`dermatological issues?
`
`Yes.
`
`How long have you been treating patients
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`for acne?
`
`A
`
`I would say since internship, so 2003 to
`
`current.
`
`Q
`
`Could you give a number to the number of
`
`patients that you've seen or treated for acne over
`
`the years?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`In the past 15 years?
`
`Yes, just a great ballpark.
`
`Hundreds, thousands, millions?
`
`Probably tens of thousands.
`
`Thanks.
`
`So you said that as of now, patients
`
`20 with acne take up approximately 30 to 40 percent
`

`

`
`of your practice, just ballparking there.

`
`The most common being comedonal and

`
`So if a patient comes into your practice
`
`to see you, presenting with acne, what do you do?
`
`A
`
`I evaluate them, determine what type of
`
`treatments they might need, and discuss options.
`
`Do you prescribe treatments for acne?
`
`Sure.
`
`What treatments?
`
`It depends on the patient.

`
`A
`
`Q

`A
`

`
`clindamycin product and occasionally Epiduo, are
`
`there any other combination single product
`
`therapies that you prescribe for acne?
`
`A
`
`I used to prescribe Benzamycin, which is
`
`benzoyl peroxide with erythromycin.
`
`Q
`
`You said "used to." Do you no longer
`
`prescribe it?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Right.
`
`Why is that?
`
`It needed to be stored in the
`
`refrigerator, which was not really convenient for
`
`people to apply to their face.

`
`Have you ever prescribed oral dapsone to

`
`If they had inflammatory acne.
`
`Would you prescribe it for any other
`

`

`
`No.
`
`Why is that?
`
`It can be expensive.
`
`Are there any other reasons?
`
`Not my habit.
`
`What would you pick for a first choice?
`
`Usually clindamycin gel.
`
`Why would you move a patient from
`
`clindamycin gel to Aczone 5 percent?
`
`A
`
`If they did not have good efficacy with
`
`clindamycin.
`
`Q
`
`Would you ever -- if there wasn't good
`
`efficacy with the clindamycin gel, would you
`
`substitute the Aczone 5 percent, or would you
`
`prescribe the Aczone 5 percent in combination?

`
`I would substitute it.

`
`the procedure is a patient has been using the
`
`clindamycin gel and not responding well. When you
`
`substitute it for the Aczone 5 percent, is that
`
`the only thing that you prescribe, or do you
`
`prescribe something else in combination with it
`
`then?
`
`A
`
`Usually I have patients on a topical
`
`retinoid as well.
`
`Q
`
`Would they have been on the retinoid in
`
`addition to the clindamycin also?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Most likely.
`
`In your experience, do patients seem to
`
`comply with the application instructions for the
`
`5 percent gel, for the Aczone 5 percent?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Do you prescribe it for once daily or
`
`twice daily or some other?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Usually I say one to two times daily.
`
`In your experience, have you found the
`
`Aczone 5 percent product to be effective for
`
`treating inflammatory acne?
`
`A
`
`Yes.

`
`Q
`
`How would you measure that
`
`effectiveness? What would make you say that it
`
`was an effective treatment in a patient?
`
`A
`
`If, on follow-up, patients had fewer
`
`active inflammatory lesions.
`
`Q
`
`How long does a treatment regimen with
`
`Aczone 5 percent usually last?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Last?
`
`I can't answer that.
`
`Is it something that a patient would
`
`stop taking after a while, or is it a continuing
`
`type of
`
`A
`
`It depends on the patient. Teenagers
`
`sometimes outgrow their acne. Sometimes adults
`
`develop acne for the first time in their 20s.
`
`Q
`
`So if it was an adult, it's more likely
`
`that the treatment would be ongoing for a longer
`
`duration than for a teenager?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`It's possible.
`
`Do you have patients who have stopped
`
`taking the Aczone 5 percent product?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Why?

`
`Q
`
`So you have some patients in which the
`
`acne problem has completely cleared up after using
`
`the Aczone 5 percent?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`Do you have any patients who have
`
`stopped taking the Aczone 5 percent for another
`
`reason not associated with efficacy?
`
`A
`
`Sometimes cost is an issue and they
`
`can't afford the medicine.
`
`Q
`
`Has anyone stopped taking it, that
`
`you're aware of, because of a side effect of its
`
`use?
`
`A
`
`Sometimes people complain of dryness,
`
`but I'm not sure if that has led to them not using
`
`the medicine.
`
`Q
`
`Have you ever had patients complaining
`
`about the feel of the product?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`No.
`
`I mean, just dryness.
`
`Have you heard anybody complaining about
`
`the grittiness of the product?

`
`A
`

`
`Q
`
`Have you ever prescribed the Aczone
`
`7.5 percent dapsone product?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Yes.
`
`What would make you prescribe the
`
`7.5 percent versus the 5 percent product?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Sometimes patients request it.
`
`And is patient request the only reason
`
`you would prescribe the 7.5 percent product?
`
`A
`
`Sometimes I have samples in the office
`
`and they try it and like it.
`
`Q
`
`Without a patient either requesting the
`
`7.5 percent product or trying a sample and liking
`
`it in your office, would you prescribe the

`A
`
`Q
`
`Usually I can't.
`
`Usually you can't?
`
`Correct.
`
`Why is that?
`
`Because of step edits from the insurance
`
`Are there instances in which you can?
`
`Maybe.
`
`Have you ever prescribed the 7.5 percent
`
`product in such an instance?
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Q
`
`Probably.
`
`Can you say for certain?
`
`I don't remember.
`
`If there weren't step edits from the
`
`insurance company telling you, directing you to
`
`prescribe the 5 percent product, would you
`
`prescribe the 7.5 percent product?
`
`A
`
`I might.
`
`Some people, it matters.

`Some
`
`people, it doesn't matter.

`
`What makes it matter?

`

`
`Pyoderma gangrenosum.
`

`
`It's a chronic inflammatory condition
`
`that leads to ulcerations that are very, very slow
`
`to heal.
`
`Q
`
`When you say "chronic inflammatory
`
`condition," what is inflamed?
`
`A
`

`
`The skin.
`
`Is it the papillae? And I apologize if
`
`my pronunciation is incorrect.

`
`It's a big hole in the skin.
`
`Oh, okay.

`
`formulation effective for treating that condition?
`

`
`It can be.

`
`would prescribe it for other than acne and the

`
`Q
`
`When prescribing a topical formulation
`
`for treating a patient's dermatological condition,
`
`what characteristics of the treatment do you
`
`consider?
`
`A
`
`How much body surface area needs to be
`
`covered, whether the condition is acute or
`
`chronic, how long we would anticipate treatment
`
`would be required, age of the patient. There are
`
`a lot of different factors that go into treating.
`
`Q
`
`What characteristics of the formulation
`
`itself, the product, would you consider?
`
`A
`
`The vehicle of the product.
`
`In treating
`
`patients with psoriasis, sometimes we use
`
`solutions, foams, creams, ointments.
`
`Q
`
`So it's accurate to say that you
`
`consider the excipients as well as the active
`
`ingredients?
`
`A
`
`The overall vehicle choice can play a
`
`role depending on body site and disease.
`
`Q
`
`A
`
`Does it play a role for acne?
`
`It can.
