  Overview

  In this podcast episode, Mike Corvino, PharmD, and Cole Swanson, PharmD, delve into the latest approaches to managing atopic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition that significantly impacts patients’ quality of life. With its complex pathophysiology involving genetic, environmental, and immunological factors, atopic dermatitis poses unique challenges for treatment. This episode explores current guidelines and highlights both pharmacological treatments—including topical corticosteroids, calcineurin inhibitors, and biologics—and non-pharmacological strategies, such as moisturization and trigger avoidance. The discussion aims to provide pharmacists and nurses with information they can use in daily medical practice.
