PHOSPHODIESTERASE 4 INHIBITOR
Overview
Zoryve foam is a prescription drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat people 9 years of age and older with seborrheic dermatitis. Zoryve foam is also referred to by its drug name, roflumilast foam.
Zoryve foam is used as a topical treatment for seborrheic dermatitis. Zoryve foam is a member of a class of drugs called phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors and is not a topical steroid. Zoryve foam is believed to work by inhibiting PDE4, an enzyme involved in producing pro-inflammatory mediators. By blocking the activity of PDE4, the medication helps reduce dermatologic inflammation.
How do I take it?
Prescribing information states that Zoryve foam is applied once daily to affected areas of skin.
