I vurderingen af benefit/ risk- forholdet Oracea blev den nuværende situation med begrænsede behandlingsmuligheder for rosacea taget i betragtning samt den kendsgerning, at Oracea forventes at være et alternativ til off- label- brugen af doxycyclin (eller andre teracyclinderivater), der anbefales af internationale retningslinjer til behandling af rosacea, med den forbundne nedsatte risiko for bivirkninger.
In assessing the benefit/ risk of Oracea, the current situation of limited treatment options for rosacea was taken into consideration, as well as the fact that Oracea is expected to provide an alternative to the international guidelines recommending off-label use of doxycycline (or other tetracycline derivates) for the treatment of rosacea, with the associated decrease in risk for adverse events.
