What is Elidel?

Elidel cream is a prescription medication used to treat mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema). It can be used by adults and children aged two and over, who don’t have a weakened immune system.

If you or your child have eczema, your doctor may prescribe Elidel cream to you. It’s a prescription cream you apply directly to your skin. When applied to your skin, the cream can reduce eczema symptoms, like redness and itching, and it can stop symptoms from getting worse. Elidel cream is usually prescribed after other eczema treatments have not been effective enough.

Elidel active ingredients

The active ingredient in Elidel cream is called pimecrolimus. It is a type of drug called a calcineurin inhibitor that can reduce inflammation in your skin.

When you apply Elidel cream, pimecrolimus is absorbed by the cells of your skin. The pimecrolimus attaches to and stops a substance in your skin cells working called calcineurin.

Calcineurin is used by your immune system to activate T-cells and other substances that cause inflammation. By blocking calcineurin, your immune system can’t trigger as much inflammation in your skin, which reduces the severity of your eczema.

Elidel side effects & Elidel drug interactions

The most common side effects caused by Elidel include:

• Feelings of warmth and burning at the site of application – these feelings usually pass after a few days of using Elidel as your skin gets used to it
• Headaches
• A cough
• A sore throat
• A stuffy nose
• Fever
• An increase in upper respiratory infections like common colds and the flu
• Viral skin infections, like cold sores, chicken pox, and shingles

In rare instances, Elidel can cause more serious side effects, like:

• A risk of developing cancers, including skin cancer and lymphoma
• Severe allergic reactions to the medication

Some medications can interact with each other. Tell your doctor about all the drugs you’re taking, including vitamins, and herbal and dietary supplements, to make sure they don’t interact with Elidel.
