Common Dosages
- Topical cream: Common concentrations include 1% pimecrolimus and 0.025% tretinoin.
Typical Dosing
- For acne treatment: The usual recommended dosing is to apply a thin layer of Pimtrea to the affected area once daily, preferably in the evening. For atopic dermatitis, dosing may vary based on the healthcare provider's instructions.
