Popis: Topical sirolimus has become a crucial treatment option for many dermatologic disorders. Because an FDA-approved topical formulation is not commercially available, sirolimus creams, ointments, and gels are professionally prepared by compounding pharmacies. Also, the topical use of a commercially available sirolimus solution approved for oral administration is described regularly. To better guide providers in their decision-making when topical sirolimus is being considered, this article highlights the substantial pharmaceutical and clinical differences between commercial oral solution and compounded preparations specifically designed for topical therapy.
