Brief Answer: STOP TOPICAL OINTMENT. DO TVS SCAN. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for writing to us. You DON'T be afraid but you should better avoid using both PROTOPIC & ELIDEL cream at the earliest. They contain Tacrolimus and Pimecrolimus group of drugs as active ingredient (Immunomodulator). These are pregnancy Category-C drugs by FDA and not recommended in pregnancy. However, it does not cause any harmful effect on growing embryo or fetus before confirmation or realization of your pregnancy as fetal organogenesis takes place from 5th week onwards. Next thing, studies have not proved any adverse effect from topical application of above drugs before confirmed pregnancy. Therefore, you shouldn't be worried about it but STOP using them. Do one Trans Vaginal Ultrasound Scan (TVS) to get a detailed picture on fetal well being & proceed periodic check up to your gynecologist. Hope, it helps for your information. Kindly, close the discussion if you don't have any other query. Wish your good health and successful motherhood. Regards, Dr Soumen For future query, you can directly approach me through WWW.WWWW.WW
