Can pregnant patients use ruxolitinib cream?

Atopic Dermatitis

So can pregnant patients use rexalitative cream? As far as I'm concerned, pregnant patients can't use anything. If a pregnant woman is in my office and says, I'm thirsty, can I have a glass of water? My answer is, you know what? You better check with your ob gyn before we get you that water. Right. I don't want pregnant women using anything. The more interesting question here is women of childbearing potential. So do if somebody is of childbearing potential. So a 30 year old woman, and we're giving them recollective cream, do we need to tell them to avoid pregnancy? The best answer we have there, the limited data that's out there about tofacitinib and other systemic jacks in pregnancy is that there don't seem to be big issues with them. So with the very limited systemic absorption of topical recollective cream, I don't have any concern about woman of childbearing potential using it. But what I would tell them is the minute you find out you're pregnant, you should stop using it. So I would not use it in a pregnant woman, but in a woman who was of childbearing potential or trying to get pregnant, I would tell her, you're fine to keep using it until the minute you find out you're pregnant. Those stop.
