Hi Everyone,
I know may of you have kids, some of you may use this stuff yourself.......I have a vested interest in Elidel....So I thought I pass on the email I got.....
FDA Warning: Elidel and Protopic
The Food and Drug Administration has issued a warning about a possible risk
of cancer in patients using Elidel and Protopic. While it is currently not
clear that there is truly a risk, you may want to discuss this issue with
your doctor. For more information from the FDA, go to the links below.

Hope you all are havig a great day,

TY Dr.Misteyeyes (LOL), I guess I'm not gonna try that, whatever it is. Seriously though, it is a real good idea for u to post stuff like this, because the unfortunate reality is, sometimes we are more informed and aware of this stuff then most Dr's. I can bet we care more.
They seem to prescribe what the drug salesmen tell them. One quick example that comes to mind is Ambien. I know there is still some old time stuff on the market, from the 50's, non barbituate, mostly non habit forming, & very cheep. But u ask a Dr. or pharmacist about it, and they usually dont know what u are talking about. After all , Ambian is $4.00 a pill retail compaired to maybe 5 cents a pill for this stuff, and it's a lot safer.
Maybe we missed our calling.

ouch i know, but these kind of warnings cheeses me off cause i have spent more money then i care to share trying to cure my daughters ecsema she has done study's at U.of M and in 15 yrs of research with my poor kids aweful skin condition these 2 meds are the only ones she actually responds too. so i like to take this as any other warning like eating beans out of a can will give you cancer. or the red die in soda will give you cancer. but definately since its my kid we're talking about looks like some research is back in order. thanks for the heads up misty

Hey Boo, I knew that others on here talked of thier kids having eczema. Mine have it and they gave elidel to the baby a few months ago and you know what I filled it and didn't use it because she was under 2.......and lets face it I have issues with doctors like most of you guys do......I am so glad now for whatever it was that made me say hey lets give it sometime.......
Dog.....It just amazes me that there is so little some doctors pay attention to when it comes to meds......and how much precedent a greased palm takes over someone elses life......
You both have a great day.....
Love,
Tina
