What is Elidel (Pimecrolimus) used for?

Elidel Cream (Pimecrolimus) is a topical steroid-free immunosuppressant used to treat mild or moderate eczema. It operates by reducing the effectiveness of the immune system at the area of application to prevent the swelling, irritation, and irritation associated with this condition. Your doctor may also recommend its use for the treatment of other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Elidel (Pimecrolimus)?

Elidel Cream (Pimecrolimus) is normally prescribed to be administered twice each day, but your particular instructions will be determined by your doctor based on your current health condition and the severity of your symptoms. To apply the medicine rinse the area being treated to remove any dirt or loose skin, apply a small amount of cream, gently massage it into the skin, and leave the area open to the area to allow any excess medicine to evaporate. Thoroughly wash your hands using soap and water after each application to prevent the cream from contacting any mucous membranes or areas of skin not being treated. Ask your pharmacist or doctor any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
