BOXED WARNING (located in

WARNINGS
MEDICATION GUIDE |
BOXED WARNING
Although a causal
relationship has not been established, rare cases of malignancy
(e.g., skin and lymphoma) have been reported in patients treated
with topical calcineurin inhibitors, including Elidel Cream. Therefore:
• Continuous long-term use of topical calcineurin inhibitors,
including Elidel Cream, in any age group should be avoided, and
application limited to areas of involvement with atopic
dermatitis.
• Elidel Cream is not indicated for use in children less than 2
years of age.
WARNINGS
Prolonged systemic use of
calcineurin inhibitors for sustained immunosuppression in animal
studies and transplant patients following systemic
administration has been associated with an increased risk of
infections, lymphomas, and skin malignancies. These risks are
associated with the intensity and duration of immunosuppression.....

details, see MedWatch 1/20/06 Safety Alert. |

Long-term Safety of Topical
Calcineurin Inhibitors Has Not Been Established
WARNINGS
MEDICATION GUIDE |
BOXED WARNING
Although a causal
relationship has not been established, rare cases of malignancy
(e.g., skin and lymphoma) have been reported in patients treated
with topical calcineurin inhibitors, including Protopic Cream.
Therefore:
• Continuous long-term use of topical calcineurin
inhibitors, including
Protopic Ointment, in any age group should be avoided, and
application limited to areas of involvement with atopic
dermatitis.
• Protopic Ointment is not indicated for use in children less
than 2 years of age. Only 0.03% Protopic Ointment is indicated
for use in children 2-15 years of age.
WARNINGS
Prolonged systemic use of
calcineurin inhibitors for sustained immunosuppression in animal
studies and transplant patients following systemic
administration has been associated with an increased risk of
infections, lymphomas, and skin malignancies. These risks are
associated with the intensity and duration of immunosuppression.....
