Indications

Eczema

Difamilast is an ointment that you apply to the skin to treat atopic dermatitis, which most people know as eczema.

⚠️ Always consult a registered physician before taking any medicine.

Pharmacology

Difamilast is a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor. It raises the concentration of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP), and this in turn suppresses the production of inflammatory cytokines. That is how difamilast works in the treatment of atopic dermatitis.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Difamilast isn't recommended for women who are pregnant or who may possibly be pregnant. For women who are breastfeeding, the safety of difamilast has not been fully established.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
