ECZEMA DRUGS POSSIBLY LINKED TO CANCER & LYMPHOMA
The
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has advised health care professionals
that Elidel (pimecrolimus) and Protopic (tacrolimus) have failed to work
and that because of a potential cancer risk associated with their use that
a black box warning is forthcoming. The two eczema creams Elidel and Protopic,
must carry a strong warning of cancer risk. The Food and Drug Administration
said Thursday.research shows the creams are absorbed into the body and can
cause skin cancer and lymphoma. The creams will carry a “black box” warning, which is the strongest warning
carried on drugs and medicines. Further the FDA stated that babies should not
be treated with the creams at all, the FDA said.“The data showed that
the risk of cancer increased as the amount of the drug given increased. The
FDA said in a statement the data also included a small number of reports of
cancers in children and adults treated with Elidel or Protopic.
ELIDEL & PROTOPIC NOT APPROVED TO TREAT INFANTS
In February 2005, a FDA advisory panel said they were concerned the companies
were aggressively advertising the medicines to treat infants and others with
skin problems the creams which these creams were not approved to treat.Elidel,
known generically as pimecrominum, and Protopic known generically as tacrolimus,
should be used only as directed and only after other eczema treatments have
failed to work because of the risk, the FDA said
ELIDEL & PROTOPIC LINKED TO SKIN CANCER & LYMPHOMA
Since
the FDA approved Protopic in 2000 and Elidel in 2001, seven cases of
lymphoma and six skin cancer cases have been reported in patients, the
FDA said.Animal tests have suggested the creams could cause cancer, the
FDA added.“The manufacturers of the products have agreed
to conduct research to determine whether there is an actual risk of cancer
in humans, and, if so, its extent,” the FDA said.“Both products
are applied to the skin to control eczema by suppressing the immune system.
FDA’s Public Health Advisory specifically advises physicians to weigh
the risks and benefits of these drugs in adults and children,” the
agency added.
