Product Overview
Elidel Cream 15gm containing pimecrolimus 1% — a non-steroidal topical calcineurin inhibitor for mild to moderate atopic dermatitis and eczema in adults and children aged 2 years and above.
Product Description
Elidel Cream 15Gm is a prescription topical calcineurin inhibitor cream containing pimecrolimus 1%, indicated for the short-term and intermittent long-term treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema) in patients where conventional therapies have failed or are not appropriate. Pimecrolimus selectively inhibits T-lymphocyte activation and prevents the release of inflammatory cytokines, thereby reducing the immune-mediated skin inflammation characteristic of atopic dermatitis.
Unlike topical corticosteroids, Elidel does not cause skin thinning (atrophy), making it a valuable non-steroidal alternative for sensitive or delicate areas such as the face, neck, eyelids, and skin folds where long-term steroid use carries risks. Elidel is particularly beneficial for patients who require intermittent therapy to maintain skin control and prevent flare-ups. It provides effective anti-inflammatory relief while preserving the normal integrity of the skin barrier. The 15gm tube offers a convenient supply for treating localised areas of the body. Suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and above under dermatological supervision.
