FDA Warns on Eczema Creams
Novartis, the manufacture of Elidel, and the American Academy of Dermatology question whether this FDA warning is necessary.
Two eczema creams, Elidel and Protopic, should carry a strong advisory about a cancer risk, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Thursday in a warning strongly disputed by the manufacturers.
Research shows the creams are absorbed into the body and may have the potential to cause cancer, the FDA said. It was working on a "black box" warning for the salves -- the strongest warning carried on medicines.
