Crisaborole ointment is a topical medication primarily used to treat mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema) in patients aged three months and older. It contains crisaborole, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent that inhibits phosphodiesterase enzymes responsible for inflammation, thereby reducing symptoms like itching, redness, and swelling.
Usage Instructions:
Apply a thin layer of crisaborole ointment to the affected area twice daily. Ensure the skin is clean and dry before application. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, or open wounds.
Possible Side Effects:
Common side effects may include itching, dryness, redness, or a burning sensation at the application site. If these persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider.
Precautions:
-
Inform your doctor if you are allergic to crisaborole or any of its components.
-
Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
-
Not recommended for children under three months of age.
Storage:
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.
