Cancer warning over eczema creams

Advertisements [?]

BBC

US authorities have ruled two eczema creams should carry warnings that they may increase the risk of cancer.

The Food and Drug Administration said research had shown that Elidel and Protopic may pose a cancer risk when absorbed into the body.

It said babies should not be treated with the creams at all.

The view is strongly disputed by the manufacturers, Novartis, which makes Elidel, and Fujisawa Pharmaceutical, which makes Protopic.
