Pimecrolimus is the primary active ingredient found in Elidel. It is classified as an immunomodulating agent. This ointment is primarily used for treating eczema and is considered a treatment option when other medications are ineffective.
Elidel is utilized for addressing certain skin disorders, including eczema (atopic dermatitis), particularly in individuals who are unable to use or have not had success with other eczema treatments (such as topical steroids). Eczema is an allergic condition that leads to red, itching, and irritated skin. Elidel functions by modifying the skin's immune response, which helps to reduce the allergic reaction that triggers eczema. It falls under the category of drugs known as topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs).
Apply Elidel according to your doctor’s instructions, ensuring it is gently massaged into the skin. The dosage may be adjusted based on the patient's reaction to the ointment, but this should only be done under your doctor's guidance. This cream is not meant for continuous long-term use; your doctor may advise using it intermittently when your condition worsens.
