TLDR The document corrects a mistake by stating that pimecrolimus, not tacrolimus, is the drug that concentrates in the skin.
The document acknowledges an error in a previously published article titled "Pimecrolimus. Pharmacology and preclinical studies" in the journal Piel, specifically in the caption of figure 8. The error pertained to the incorrect naming of a drug; where "tacrolimus" was mentioned, it should have been "pimecrolimus." The corrected figure caption is provided, indicating that pimecrolimus, not tacrolimus, preferentially distributes in the skin according to pharmacokinetic data from an experimental study involving oral doses of 25 mg/kg in rats, with concentrations measured 6 hours after the second dose. The figure shows the tissue concentration ratio of pimecrolimus to tacrolimus.
