Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Klisyri Work?
Tirbanibulin works by inhibiting the enzyme tubulin, which is essential for cell division and proliferation. By disrupting the normal function of tubulin, Klisyri promotes the death of abnormal skin cells associated with actinic keratosis, leading to the resolution of lesions.

- Topical ointment: Available as 1% tirbanibulin.
Typical Dosing
- The usual dosage is to apply a thin layer of Klisyri to the affected area once daily for 5 consecutive days. Treatment can be repeated if necessary, based on clinical evaluation.
