Can you combine tapinarof with topical steroids?

Psoriasis

Well, we don't really know, right. We don't have trial data or any research data looking at the combination of topinorov and corticosteroids topically. But their honest answer would be, I don't foresee a time when you would choose to use them both. Really? Topenorov is going to be an alternative to a corticosteroid and I would anticipate that we'll use it for that anti inflammatory effect rather than choosing the codocrous steroid. And there's certain benefits to Pinarov. Let's look at the psoriasis data. It's going to allow us to use a topical that we can utilize till a patient is clear and then there's going to be a period of remission. Something we don't see with topical steroids in addition to Pinnoff is going to be something we can use safely in those intratrigenous areas as opposed to using to go steroid where we worry about atrophy. So honestly answer, you probably choose one or the other. You wouldn't use them both.
