What is Opzelura?

Opzelura is a topical prescription therapy used to treat atopic dermatitis and vitiligo. It’s approved for short-term and non-continuous chronic treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis and nonsegmental vitiligo. 

This drug is part of a class of medicines known as Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors, which help reduce inflammation in affected areas of the skin. It interferes with the activity of certain enzymes in the immune system that are involved in the inflammatory process. By doing so, it helps relieve itching and redness in people with atopic dermatitis and restores pigment in those with vitiligo.

Consult a healthcare provider for the appropriate dosage and administration.
