Description

Elidel (pimecrolimus) Cream, 1%, is a topical medication classified as a topical calcineurin inhibitor (TCI). It treats mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema) in patients not adequately responsive to or intolerant of other conventional therapies. Unlike traditional corticosteroids, Elidel is not associated with certain adverse effects like skin atrophy, making it a valuable treatment option for areas with thin skin.

Special Precautions	Patients should inform their healthcare provider if they have: ● Before starting this medication, a weakened immune system or skin conditions other than atopic dermatitis. ● Any skin infections, as Elidel, can exacerbate existing infections. ● An allergy to pimecrolimus or any of the cream's ingredients.
