🌟 Opzelura Cream: A Breakthrough in Atopic Dermatitis & Vitiligo Care 🌟 Opzelura (ruxolitinib) cream, a recent innovation in the dermatological space, is making waves in the treatment of atopic dermatitis and vitiligo. 💊 Active Ingredient: The active ingredient in Opzelura is ruxolitinib, a Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor. 🔬 Mechanism of Action (MOA): Ruxolitinib works by inhibiting the JAK1 and JAK2 pathways, which play a crucial role in immune responses and inflammation. By blocking these signaling pathways, Opzelura reduces the overactive immune response, helping to alleviate inflammation and restore skin pigmentation in vitiligo. 💡Indication: Prescribed for mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in non-immunocompromised patients and nonsegmental vitiligo. 💡Application: A thin layer is applied twice daily to affected areas. Avoid using more than 20% of the body surface area to minimize systemic exposure. 💡Monitoring: Ensure regular follow-ups to assess improvement and watch for any side effects like increased infection risk, particularly due to the immunomodulatory effects of JAK inhibition. 💡 Take-Home Messages for Patients: Use as Directed: Apply a thin layer of Opzelura exactly as prescribed. Consistent application is key to seeing results. Be Patient with Results: Skin conditions like atopic dermatitis and vitiligo can take time to improve. Results may take several weeks to become noticeable. Monitor for Side Effects: While Opzelura has a good safety profile, watch for signs of infection (redness, swelling) and notify your healthcare provider if you notice anything unusual. Avoid Excessive Use: Do not apply the cream on large areas of your body or use it more frequently than prescribed, as this can increase the risk of side effects. Keep Skin Hydrated: Continue moisturizing your skin as directed by your healthcare provider to support healing and prevent further irritation. With targeted action and favorable tolerability, Opzelura offers a novel, non-steroidal option for patients seeking relief from challenging skin conditions. #Opzelura #Ruxolitinib #PharmacistInsights #AtopicDermatitis #Vitiligo #Dermatology #PharmacyCare

Shingles or herpes-zoster, is a painful skin rash, caused by the varicella-zoster virus. A person gets shingles only if he has had chicken pox before when the virus silently lodges itself in the nerves and gets reactivated after the age of about 50yrs or later due to stress, medications and illness. Dermatologists diagnose shingles based on the characteristic rash and may prescribe antiviral medications to reduce pain and duration of the outbreak. Vaccination is available to prevent shingles in older adults. #Shingles #Dermatology #SkinRash #VaricellaZosterVirus #PainfulRash #Dermatologist #SkinCare #ViralInfection #HerpesZoster #SkinHealth #ShinglesTreatment #Chickenpox #Vaccination #PainManagement #DermatologyCare
