Mode Of Action
The active ingredient, Crisa 10 gm, is a phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitor, mainly acting on phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B), which causes inflammation. Chemically, Crisa 10 gm is a phenoxybenzoxaborole. It contains a boron atom that helps penetrate the skin and is essential for its binding activity. Inhibition of PDE4B appears to suppress the release of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-23 and other cytokines, proteins believed to be involved in the immune response and inflammation.
Pregnancy
Pregnancy: There is no available data with Crisa 10 gm in pregnant women to inform the drug-associated risk for major birth defects and miscarriage. In animal reproduction studies, there were no adverse developmental effects observed with oral administration of Crisa 10 gm in pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses up to 3 and 2 times, respectively, the maximum recommended human dose (MRHD).Lactation: There is no information available on the presence of Crisa 10 gm in human milk. Crisa 10 gm is systemically absorbed. The lack of clinical data during lactation precludes a clear determination of the risk of Crisa 10 gm to a breastfed infant.
