And How Can it Help Eczema Patients?
Protopic Ointment is a prescription ointment used to treat moderate to severe eczema. Protopic is for use after other prescription medicines have not worked or when a doctor recommends that other prescription medicines should not be used. Protopic should be used for short periods, and, if needed, treatment may be repeated with breaks in between.
PROTOPIC IS AVAILABLE IN TWO STRENGTHS.
- Adults may use either Protopic Ointment 0.1% or 0.03%
- Children 2 to 15 years of age should only use Protopic Ointment 0.03%
- Protopic should not be used on children younger than 2 years of age
- Protopic should not be used by those with weakened immune systems
If you have any questions about Protopic, ask your doctor.

≥90% improvement with Protopic treatment than with unmedicated ointment at 12 weeks (37% Protopic vs 7% unmedicated ointment)1
