What is Elidel® (Pimecrolimus) Cream 1%?

Elidel® Cream 1% is a non-steroidal topical treatment designed for managing mild to moderate atopic dermatitis in patients aged 2 years and older.

It contains the active ingredient pimecrolimus, which is a calcineurin inhibitor, targeting inflammation in the skin.

This cream is particularly suitable for individuals who cannot or prefer not to use corticosteroids.

Elidel® is used on affected areas such as the face, neck, and other sensitive regions where prolonged steroid use may be unsuitable.

The treatment helps control flare-ups and provides relief from redness, itching, and irritation.


What makes Elidel® unique for atopic dermatitis?

Elidel® provides an effective alternative to corticosteroids, especially for sensitive areas like the face and neck.

With minimal systemic absorption, it ensures a targeted approach to managing symptoms while reducing the risk of long-term skin thinning or steroid dependency.


How is Elidel® used?

How do you apply Elidel® Cream?

Apply a thin layer of cream to the affected skin twice daily. Gently rub the cream until it is fully absorbed. Use on areas such as the face, neck, and folds, but avoid contact with mucous membranes or open wounds.

Can Elidel® be used long-term?

Yes, Elidel® can be used for short-term symptom relief and long-term intermittent use to prevent flare-ups. For chronic conditions, initiate treatment at the first signs of a flare.

Is it suitable for children?

Elidel® is approved for children aged 2 years and older, following the same application instructions as for adults. Its safety for children under 2 years has not been established.


What are the precautions when using Elidel®?

What should you avoid during treatment?

Avoid sunlight exposure: Use protective clothing and sunscreen during treatment. Do not apply on areas with active infections such as cold sores or chickenpox. Avoid applying on skin with precancerous lesions or malignancies.

Who should not use Elidel®?

Individuals with known allergies to pimecrolimus or any cream components. Patients with immunodeficiencies or on systemic immunosuppressants.


What are the possible side effects of Elidel®?

Common side effects:

Burning or irritation at the application site. Mild redness, itching, or dryness.

Rare but serious side effects:

Skin infections (e.g., herpes simplex, impetigo). Rare cases of lymphoma and skin malignancies have been reported, but no direct link has been established.

What should you do if side effects occur?
