(TCS) recommendations from
pharmacists used to include “use
sparingly” or a label to that effect
was applied to the product, while
more up-to-date recommendations
are now gaining cut-through,
according to an MSD survey.
The survey questioned 200
pharmacists across Australia to
understand their perceptions
about TCS to find that while 66%
of pharmacists still recommend
use of TCS ‘sparingly’ in children
with atopic eczema, one third are
following the “fingertip unit” guide.
An MSD-sponsored online
education module “skIN CONTROL”
is available to pharmacists and
is accredited with the Australian
Pharmacy Council for 2 group 2
credits in the 2014-16 triennium.
