Vtama uses?

Vtama is the brand name for tapinarof. It is a topical cream used to treat plaque psoriasis.

Key points:
- Indication: Topical treatment of plaque psoriasis in adults and in pediatric patients 12 years and older (age may vary by country, so check local labeling).
- Mechanism: A non-steroidal aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) agonist with anti-inflammatory effects.
- How to use: Apply once daily to affected skin areas only. Use on clean and dry skin; do not apply to broken skin. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or mucous membranes. Wash hands after applying. Do not occlude the treated area unless directed.
- Side effects: Common local reactions include itching, burning, redness, and dry skin. Folliculitis can occur. Serious systemic side effects are unlikely with topical use.
- Precautions: Discuss use if pregnant or breastfeeding. Not a substitute for other psoriasis therapies unless advised by a clinician. If using other topical products on the same area, talk to your prescriber.
- Availability: Dosing and approved indications can vary by country; consult the local labeling or your clinician for exact recommendations.
