    Citation Excerpt :

    This regimen consists of prescribing a maintenance dose of up to 5 mg/kg/d for 2 consecutive days per week and resting for the rest of the week. In psoriasis the efficacy of this strategy is similar to that of continuous therapy even though the mean daily dose is significantly lower.39 This regimen has produced promising results in pediatric patients with severe atopic dermatitis, enabling long-term therapy that avoids relapses40 with less toxicity and a lower cumulative dose.
