Proteque Non-Steroid Approach for Eczema Children At San Francisco
Pediatric Conference RALEIGH, N.C., Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- US and international pediatricians attended the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) national Conference and discussed with Proteque International their successful use of non-steroid, Proteque(R) SPS to manage eczema and dermatitis patients. More than 5,500 pediatricians and other health care professionals attended this premier pediatric educational event in San Francisco. Eczema (sometimes called dermatitis) is easy to diagnose--itchy, red, dry, peeling skin, sometimes with cracks or rash. It is incredibly itchy, sensitive, stings, burns and the pain makes babies and children (and some adults) cry and scratch. "Over 5000 eczema and dermatitis specialists from dermatology, neonatology, ENT, pediatric allergists, and pediatric departments reported positive outcomes in actual patient use with this new steroid-sparing approach," said Fred Brachman, President and CEO of Proteque International. "Most common types of patient conditions were pediatric eczema, skin allergies and atopic and contact dermatitis including perioral (around the mouth), face and body." The once-a-day, water-resistant dimethicone-based Proteque formula, with four non-steroid anti-inflammatory and long-lasting antibacterial ingredients, reduces erythema and transepidermal water loss, and killed Staph. Aureus and E.Coli according to controlled clinical studies at UCSF Department of Dermatology and NCSU. One attendee at the AAP conference, Dr. Derrina Wu, in private practice in San Francisco, reported four days later, "I actually tried the product on my daughter who has atopic dermatitis. The instant soothing effect on her irritated skin without the hydrocortisone and with all natural ingredients was what impressed me and made me a believer in the product. I have begun to recommend it to several patients." Brachman said, "Proteque is recommended alone with no steroids, or as combination therapy with a lower potency corticosteroid. Pediatricians, allergists and dermatologists prefer to prevent the recurrence of eczema and dermatitis instead of repeated use of debilitating strong topical or oral corticosteroids and antibiotics. These can cause thinning of the skin, scaring, osteoporosis and growth problems for children. No prescription is required and the product contains no steroids or immunosuppressants such as tacrolimus." Proteque SPS (pronounced Pro-teck) is available now online at Drugstore.com, CVS.com, Sanavita.com (International orders outside US), natlallergy.com. Also available at over 250 Dermatologist, Allergist & Pediatrician Offices or can be ordered in 24 hours at over 40,000 independent, and chain pharmacies, such as Wal-Mart, KMart, Walgreens, Kroger, Rite-Aid, Long's, Osco, Eckerd's, Sav-On, Safeway, and CVS. More information, including clinical research, educational and ordering information is at www.proteque.com or 800-953-9250. Proteque International's mission is to provide safer integrated solutions for eczema and dermatitis sufferers as recommended by Pediatric, Dermatology, Family Practice, OBGYN and Allergy physicians.
