Protopic Drug Uses

Use Protopic only to treat eczema that has been diagnosed by a doctor.

How Taken

Apply a thin layer of Protopic to all skin areas that your doctor has diagnosed as eczema. Try to cover the affected areas completely.

Protopic Warnings/Precautions

Avoid sunlight and sun lamps, tanning beds, and treatment with UVA or UVB light. If you need to be outdoors after applying Protopic, wear loose fitting clothing that protects the treated area from the sun. In addition, ask your doctor what other type of protection from the sun you should use.

Protopic Missed Dose

Apply Protopic as soon as you can remember.

Protopic Possible Side Effects

The most common side effects of Protopic are stinging, soreness, a burning feeling, or itching of the skin treated with Protopic. These side effects are usually mild to moderate and are most common during the first few days of treatment and typically lessen if your skin heals.

Protopic Storage

Store Protopic at room temperature (59E to 86EF). Never leave Protopic in your car in cold or hot weather. Make sure the cap on the tube is tightly closed. Keep Protopic out of the reach of children.

Protopic Overdose

An overdose with Protopic is highly unlikely to occur. Seek medical attention immediately if you suspect an overdose.

More Information

Do not use Protopic for a condition for which it was not prescribed. If you have any concerns about Protopic, ask your doctor. Your doctor or pharmacist can give you information about Protopic that was written for health care professionals.

TYPES OF BACTERIAL INFECTIONS:
Impetigo and Ecthyma
Impetigo begins with a redness of the skin and progresses to blisters that fill with fluid and itch, and then produce honey-colored crusts. Lesions usually form around the nose and face. Ecthyma is a deeper version of impetigo that usually forms on the legs. It causes large boils, crusts, and deep sores that leave scars.
Folliculitis
Folliculitis is an infection of the hair follicles. It produces pimplelike skin bumps and small blisters with pus. Folliculitis occurs on the face, upper trunk, arms, and buttocks. When the infection goes deeper, feels tender, and produces more pus, it is furunculosis. Carbuncles are furuncles that have fused.
Abscess
An abscess is a deep infection that appears like a closed blister or an open hole with pus. It is usually tender and becomes sore and painful as the infection progresses.
Erysipelas and Cellulitis
Erysipelas is a superficial infection that tends to occur in young children and the elderly. It is also seen in those who have chronic swelling of the limbs, are addicted to alcohol, have diabetes mellitus, or have experienced trauma. Erysipelas mostly occurs on the face or legs. A fever occurs abruptly, the cheeks become red, and the skin feels hot, tense, and swollen. Cellulitis is a deeper form of this infection.
TREATMENTS:
Bacterial skin infections are treated according to their severity. Your physician may incise and drain deeper infections and abscesses, and recommend that you apply warm compresses. Creams such as Fucidin® or Bactroban® are prescribed for mild stages of:
* impetigo
* ecthyma
* folliculitis
* abscess
If the infection is more extensive, oral antibiotics such as Cloxacillin or Cephalexin are used as well as those in the erythromycin family. Penicillin is often used to treat for strep.
Antibiotic resistance is an increasing problem so it is best to have early adequate proper treatment to minimize risk of exposure to antibiotics and lower the risk of transmission to others.
During treatment, remember to wash your hands daily with an antibacterial solution such as Trisan®, Tersaseptic® or Hibitane®, or use a product like Safe4Hours® (www.invisicare.com) which kills bacteria for four hours. Hand washing is the most important thing you can do to minimize the spread of infection.
If you suspect a bacterial skin infection, see your doctor before it becomes severe. Due to the increase of bacterial resistance to drugs in general, it is important to take the full course of your prescribed medicines.
