Managing atopic dermatitis with systemic therapies in adults and adolescents: An Australian/New Zealand narrative

Abstract

With the rapid development of new, targeted thera-pies for the treatment of moderate/severe atopic der-matitis, it is opportune to review the availableconventional systemic agents. We assess the pub-lished evidence for systemic therapies for atopic der-matitis and amalgamate this with real-worldexperience. Discussions are centred on when sys-temic therapy should be considered, which drug(s),what dose, how to sequence or combine these thera-pies, how long they should be continued for andwhat is considered success.
