About Elidel Cream
Elidel Cream belongs to a class of dermatological preparation called 'immunosuppressants' primarily used to prevent allergies, including swelling, itching, redness, heat, and pain caused due to certain skin problems such as dermatitis (itchy, swelling of the skin) and eczema (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin). Eczema is a condition in which skin patches become inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough. Dermatitis is a skin condition that causes itchy, dry skin or a rash on swollen, reddened skin.
Elidel Cream contains Pimecrolimus works by stopping the immune system from producing chemical substances that may cause eczema. When the skin reacts to any type of allergens, such chemical substances are released normally. It acts inside the skin cells that cause inflammation and characteristic redness and itching of eczema. Elidel Cream is used to treat swelling, itching, redness, heat, and pain caused due to skin problems such as eczema or atopic dermatitis (itchy, cracked, swollen or rough skin).
Use Elidel Cream as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose depending on your medical condition. Avoid contact of Elidel Cream with nose, mouth, or eyes. If Elidel Cream comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Common side effects of Elidel Cream include burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. Most of these side effects of Elidel Cream do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Avoid using Elidel Cream if you are allergic to it. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, it is advised to consult your doctor before using Elidel Cream. Do not use Elidel Cream in more than prescribed doses or for a prolonged time as it may cause adverse effects. Avoid consuming alcohol while using Elidel Cream as it can make your skin (particularly on your face) flushed or red and feel hot. If you have a weakened immune system (immunocompromised), have erythroderma (redness of almost the entire body), or a skin condition called Netherton’s syndrome (a disorder that affects the skin, hair and immune system) and skin malignancies (tumours), and skin infections (including chickenpox or herpes), inform your doctor before starting Elidel Cream.
