Hi Ladies!

I subscribe to the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network due to some pretty nasty food allergies I have. This was sent out to members this morning. Since I know many of us have various skin disorders, I thought it appropriate to pass this along. The original message had links to the FDA website for both drugs, but I did not post them here, since the FDA website can be searched.

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.
