Used forEczemaAtopic dermatitis
Stop Eucrisa and call your Care Team if you get hives, swelling of the face or lips, or trouble breathing. Keep it away from your eyes and mouth. Tell us if your skin looks infected, with pus, crusts or fever.
Choosing the right dose for you
Your clinician tells you where to apply Eucrisa, how often, and for how long. A thin layer is usually enough. Your clinician reviews your progress and may adjust the plan if your eczema changes.
Considerations include
- Severity and extent of eczema
- Where the eczema is
- Past eczema treatments
- Skin sensitivity
- Age and other medicines
How Eucrisa works
Eucrisa turns down inflammation without a steroid
Eczema skin has too much of an enzyme called PDE4, which drives inflammation. Crisaborole blocks PDE4 inside skin cells.
This raises a calming signal in the cell and lowers the inflammatory chemicals that cause itch and rash.

Start my assessmentA Canadian-licensed medical professional reviews your history and photos. If Eucrisa is right for you, your clinician decides and writes the prescription. Not every patient is a fit, and your clinician may suggest another treatment or an in-person visit.
Crisaborole blocks PDE4, an enzyme that drives inflammation in eczema skin. This lowers the chemicals that cause itch and rash. It acts on the skin where you apply it.
Some people feel less itch within days. Skin often keeps improving over a few weeks. Your clinician reviews your progress.
Itch, redness and rash often ease. Results differ from person to person. Eczema can flare again, so your clinician may plan how to manage flares.
Burning or stinging where you apply it is the most common effect. It is often mild and brief. Call your Care Team for hives, swelling, or signs of infection.
Do not use it if you are allergic to crisaborole or any ingredient. Tell your clinician if your skin looks infected. Your clinician decides if it is safe for you.
Other options include topical steroids such as hydrocortisone, desonide, betamethasone and fluocinonide. Dupilumab and abrocitinib suit more severe eczema, and cyclosporine may suit severe flares. For infected eczema, fusidic acid is a topical option.
Use a daily moisturizer and a gentle cleanser. Your clinician may pair Eucrisa with a steroid for flares. Apply each product as directed.
Tell your clinician if you are pregnant, plan a pregnancy or breastfeed. Your clinician decides if Eucrisa is right for you. Do not start or stop it on your own.
Each consultation costs CA$175. Your pharmacy charges separately for medication. Ask your insurer whether your plan covers the prescribed treatment.
In Canada, crisaborole is sold as Eucrisa, and no generic version is listed in the Health Canada Drug Product Database. Your pharmacist can tell you what is available.
Your clinician reviews your progress before each refill. Message your Care Team early, before you run out. If the treatment does not work or causes side effects, your clinician may change the plan.
Simple pricing for your skin care.
Medication costs are separate. Ask your insurer whether your plan reimburses online consultations.
