- Title
[Topical corticosteroids versus topical inhibitors of calcineurin].
- Authors
Niedner, R
- Abstract
Topical corticosteroids (TCC) have significantly shaped dermatological therapy for five decades. A few months ago the TCC were joined by competition, the topical inhibitors of calcineurin (TIC), wrongly termed topical immunomodulators. The present paper reviews the pharmacological effects and clinical efficacy of TIC, compares the risks, benefits and costs of those two groups of topical drugs and develops a position on the use of TIC. While TIC have ushered in a new era of topical anti-inflammatory therapy, the age of TCC is far from over.
