What is Eucrisa?
Eucrisa is a non-steroidal, topical prescription ointment used for the treatment of mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis, which is commonly known as eczema. This innovative medication is formulated with the active ingredient crisaborole. It is a safe and effective option for both adults and pediatric patients who are three months of age and older. Eucrisa offers an alternative to traditional steroid creams, providing targeted relief from the persistent and uncomfortable symptoms of eczema, such as itching, redness, and inflammation. Because it is steroid-free, it can be used over longer periods as directed by your doctor.
How does Eucrisa work?
Eucrisa works by targeting and blocking an enzyme inside skin cells called phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4). In people with atopic dermatitis, an overactive PDE4 enzyme can contribute to the inflammation that causes skin symptoms. By inhibiting PDE4, Eucrisa helps to reduce the underlying inflammation in the skin. This action works both on the surface and below the skin to calm the irritation, redness, and severe itching associated with eczema. Its targeted mechanism allows it to effectively manage symptoms without the use of steroids, addressing the condition at a cellular level.
Who is Eucrisa for?
Eucrisa is for adults and children aged three months and older who have been diagnosed with mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis. It is an excellent treatment choice for patients seeking a steroid-free therapy to manage their eczema. This medication is particularly beneficial for individuals who need treatment for sensitive areas of skin where steroids may not be suitable. Patients who have not achieved desired results with over-the-counter remedies or other prescription topicals may find Eucrisa to be an effective part of their skincare regimen. A doctor can determine if it is the right choice for your specific condition.
Dosage and administration
Eucrisa is typically applied as a thin layer directly to the affected areas of the skin twice each day. Always follow the specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider for the best results. The ointment is intended for external use only and must not be used in the eyes, mouth, or vagina. Wash your hands after applying the ointment, unless you are treating eczema on your hands. As your skin condition improves, your doctor may recommend reducing the application to once daily. Consistent use is key to achieving and maintaining control over eczema symptoms.
Side effects
Eucrisa may cause side effects, though the most common one is generally mild and manageable. Many users experience a brief stinging or burning sensation at the application site shortly after applying the ointment. This symptom usually subsides with continued use.
More serious side effects are rare but can indicate an allergic reaction. You should stop treatment and contact your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following:
- Severe skin reaction where the ointment was applied
- Hives or welts on the skin
- Intense itching or swelling
This is not a complete list of all possible side effects. Always read the patient information leaflet that comes with your medication.
