ABSTRACT
In this study, we aimed to analyze the literature to date on the utilization of topical calcineurin inhibitors in the management of pruritus among older adults, ages 65 and older. The 16 studies included in the final analysis demonstrated that topical calcineurin inhibitors are well tolerated across ages and are effective in treating a wide variety of chronic pruritic conditions. Collectively, these findings support that topical calcineurin inhibitors should be considered a safe, plausible option for managing age-associated itch.
