Abstract
Combined oral contraceptive pills (cOCPs) are
often used in the treatment of acne in females.
They are effective, safe, and easy to use in appropriate patients in
combination with more conventional acne therapies.
This article will briefly address the physiologic rationale for the use of
cOCPs in the treatment of acne. It will also review efficacy by examining
relevant clinical trials.
Safety considerations and the adverse event profile for oral contraceptives
will be presented.
Finally, practical considerations for prescribing cOCPs will be discussed.
