[sci.med.aids] Pentadamine

Bill.Mathews@f3.n3600.z1.fidonet.org (Bill Mathews) (11/18/89)

Treatments with this stuff once a month on someone with recurrents flares of  
seborrheic dermatitis (especially the face) is rough! Goggles can protect the  
eye areas. Can something be done to cut down on the skin irritation? I have  
been thinking of switching to compressed air instead of oxygen and using a coat  
of something on the facial areas (zinc oxide, A & D  with vaseline, etc.) I'm  
reluctant to mix grease and oxygen together.....Do you or anyone else have any  
ideas? I don't want to decrease or alter the efficicacy of the preventative  
effects that pentadamine would be giving. Locally 4 or 5 patients are placed in  
the same room for simultaneous pentadamine therapy, (we have quite a few folks  
that need treatment) and the air can get thick.
