Explore the importance patient friendly topicals in patient adherence
About the webinar
Non-adherence to treatment is universally recognised as a public health problem. With topical medications, adherence rates decline to 32% over eight weeks in atopic dermatitis and 51% in psoriasis. Non-adherence leads to sub-optimal health outcomes, lower quality of life, and ultimately higher healthcare costs. One of the key factors driving patient adherence is the patient-friendliness of topical formulations.
For topicals, this aspect is directly linked to the cosmetic and galenic properties of the formulation, like the smell and the appearance, the (after)feeling on the skin (greasy, tacky, shiny), but also the time needed for the application as well as the convenience of application (spreadability, absorption time, etc.). The vehicle used mainly drives these aesthetic parameters, while the formulation type will influence the convenience and application time.
In this webinar, we shed light on the reasoning behind the proper choice of topical ingredients, vehicles, and dosage forms.
