Elidel Cream
Elidel Cream is a clinically advanced, non-steroidal topical medication specifically designed for the treatment of mild-to-moderate Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema). As a Topical Calcineurin Inhibitor (TCI), Elidel works by selectively targeting the overactive immune cells in the skin that cause inflammation, redness, and intense itching. Unlike traditional corticosteroid creams, Elidel does not cause skin thinning (atrophy), making it a preferred choice for sensitive areas such as the face, neck, and skin folds. This targeted therapy helps manage “flares” and provides a long-term maintenance solution to keep skin calm, smooth, and resilient.
Key Features
- Provides powerful anti-inflammatory action without the side effects associated with long-term steroid use, such as skin thinning or stretch marks.
- Specifically inhibits T-cell activation in the skin to stop the “itch-scratch” cycle at its source.
- Gentle enough for use on delicate skin, including the eyelids, face, and areas where the skin is naturally thin.
- Effectively controls the redness and swelling of eczema flares, helping to extend the periods between outbreaks.
- The smooth, emollient-based cream formula absorbs quickly, leaving the skin hydrated without a heavy or greasy residue.
Key Ingredients
- Pimecrolimus (1% w/w)
- Triglycerides & Oleyl Alcohol
Precautions
- Elidel is a prescription-grade treatment. Use only as directed by a healthcare professional.
- While using Elidel, limit exposure to natural and artificial sunlight (tanning beds) as the cream may affect the skin’s response to UV light.
- Do not apply Elidel to areas with active viral infections (like cold sores or chickenpox) or bacterial skin infections.
- Use only on the affected areas of the skin. Avoid continuous long-term use; it is intended for intermittent treatment of eczema.
How to Use
- Clean and dry the affected area of the skin thoroughly before application.
- Apply a thin layer of Elidel Cream to cover the affected skin completely.
- Massage gently until the cream disappears. Apply twice daily, or as recommended by your dermatologist.
- Wash your hands after application unless your hands are the area being treated.
