Buckle up! We're diving deep into the wild world of dermatology, where the only thing more dangerous than a weird mole is a boxed warning. Here's what's cooking in this episode:
- Rinvoq vs. Dupixent: Two drugs enter, one drug leaves! We break down this pharmaceutical cage match and wonder if we learned anything besides how to pronounce "upadacitinib."
- Actinic keratoses get a glow-up with calcipotriol and 5-FU. Spoiler alert: It's not what you think, unless you think it's magic. Then you're right.
- Boxed warnings: Giving us more childhood suicides? We explore how these little black boxes are wreaking havoc on patients and ask, "Who's really getting schooled here?"
- Dr. Ted Lain attempts to convince our hosts there's actual science in skincare. Spoiler: It's harder than getting rid of back acne.
Plus, we'll tackle burning questions like: Are JAK inhibitors the new Russian roulette? Is switching IL-23s just dermatological musical chairs? And is Topical Steroid Withdrawal the new gluten intolerance?Join us as we dive into the best articles of the last week.
Warning: Side effects may include uncontrollable laughter, raised eyebrows, and a sudden urge to moisturize. Join Drs. Ferris, Zirwas and Patton for a new episode every Friday.
