Consumer:Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:Theoretically, coadministration with CYP450 3A inhibitors may increase the plasma concentrations of pimecrolimus, which has been shown in vitro to undergo metabolism by this subfamily of hepatic microsomal enzymes. Although clinically significant drug interactions are not expected due to minimal systemic absorption of topically administered pimecrolimus, the possibility cannot be ruled out. The manufacturer recommends caution in patients with widespread and/or erythrodermic disease.
