    This paper discusses omalizumab as an effective systemic treatment for atopic dermatitis in adult patients aged 30-60. It compares the effectiveness of omalizumab to azathioprine and cyclosporine, finding that while all three treatments can help treat atopic dermatitis, azathioprine and cyclosporine carry more serious risks with long-term use including adverse reactions. Research showed that omalizumab was well-tolerated for long-term use and resulted in few negative side effects, making it a safer option for patients with severe atopic dermatitis.

    OMALIZUMAB AS AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEMIC TREATMENT

    Omalizumab

    Abstract
    Atopic dermatitis, commonly known as allergies, is a type of disabling disease that causes
    the patients to have a poor quality of life. This paper aims to discuss about the effective
    systemic treatment an adult patient, age 30-60 years old, should take to relieve them from
    atopic dermatitis. This will help patients be informed with what systemic treatment is
    highly recommended to be administered to them. Omalizumabs effectiveness is
    compared to the effectiveness of Azathioprine and Cysclosporine in the grounds of their
    function, drug precaution, and adverse, permanent or fatal outcomes when undergoing a
    long-term systemic treatment. The three systemic treatments pose positive results in
    treating the patients with atopic dermatitis. However, Azathioprine and Cysclosporine
    presented serious consequential reactions to the body with too much use or exposure to
    the treatment. With all the researches gathered, Omalizumab proved to be a well-tolerated
    drug safe for long-term use of patients with severe atopic dermatitis, giving only an
    insignificant value of negative side effects to the patient
    Keywords: atopic dermatitis, omalizumab, azathioprine, cyscloporine
