See prescribing information for full details.
Drug interactions
In vitro studies using human liver microsomes indicated that under the conditions of clinical use, crisaborole and metabolite 1 are not expected to inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A2, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, and 3A4.
In vitro human liver microsomes studies for metabolite 2 showed that it did not
inhibit activities of CYP2C19, 2D6, and 3A4; was a weak inhibitor of CYP1A2
and 2B6; and a moderate inhibitor of CYP2C8 and 2C9. The most sensitive enzyme, CYP2C9, was further investigated in a clinical trial using warfarin as a
CYP2C9 substrate. The results of this study showed no drug interaction potential.
In vitro studies in human hepatocytes showed that under the conditions of clinical use, crisaborole and metabolites 1 and 2 are not expected to induce CYP enzymes.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Pregnancy: There is no available data with Crisaborole in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage.
Lactation: There is no information available on the presence of Crisaborole in human milk, the effects of the drug on the breastfed infant or the effects of the drug on milk production after topical application of Crisaborole to women who are breastfeeding.
