What do we know about pimecrolimus
topical?
Elidel is an immunosuppressant.
Immunosuppressants decrease the effects
of the body's immune system. Pimecrolimus
topical is used to treat atopic dermatitis
(e.g., eczema). Elidel at times may also
be prescribed or used for reasons and purposes
other than those that have been listed here.
What should I discuss with
my healthcare provider before using Elidel?
Do not use pimecrolimus topical
without first talking to your doctor if
you have the congenital skin disorder Netherton's
syndrome. Before using Elidel, tell your
doctor if you: are taking oral or injectable
tacrolimus (Prograf), cyclosporine (Neoral,
Sandimmune), mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept),
azathioprine (Imuran), sirolimus (Rapamune),
or another immunosuppressant medication;
have a skin infection; have a disease of
the immune system; or are using any other
type of skin product (e.g., cream, ointment,
lotion, etc.). You may not be able to use
Elidel, or you may require a dosage adjustment
or special monitoring if you have any of
the conditions listed above. Pimecrolimus
topical is in the FDA pregnancy category
C. This means that it is not known whether
pimecrolimus topical will harm an unborn
baby. Do not use this medication without
first talking to your doctor if you are
pregnant or are planning to become pregnant
during treatment. It is not known whether
Elidel passes into breast milk. Do not use
this medication without first talking to
your doctor if you are breast-feeding a
baby. Elidel is not approved for use by
children younger than 2 years of age.
How should I use Elidel?
Apply pimecrolimus topical
exactly as it has been prescribed by your
physician or health care provider. If you
do not fully understand the directions that
have been given to you, ask your pharmacist,
nurse or doctor to explain them to you.
Apply Elidel twice a day, about 12 hours
apart, unless otherwise directed by your
doctor. Wash your hands before and after
each application, unless you are using Elidel
to treat a hand condition. Before applying
pimecrolimus topical after a shower or bath,
be sure the skin is completely dry. Apply
a thin layer of pimecrolimus topical to
all skin areas that your doctor has diagnosed
as having atopic dermatitis (e.g., eczema).
Rub the medication gently and completely
into the skin. Do not cover the area being
treated with bandages, dressings, or wraps.
However, normal clothing can be worn over
the treated areas. Unless otherwise instructed
by your doctor, do not apply any other skin
products on the areas treated with Elidel.
Do not bathe, shower or swim right after
applying pimecrolimus topical. This could
wash off the medication. Use pimecrolimus
topical on the skin. Do not swallow this
medication. Even though your skin will begin
to look and feel better, it is important
to keep using Elidel as instructed by your
doctor. Pimecrolimus topical should be used
for as long as the symptoms of atopic dermatitis
persist or as directed by your doctor. Talk
to your doctor if the condition does not
improve or if it gets worse during the first
few weeks of treatment. Store pimecrolimus
topical at or around room temperature and
keep away from moisture and heat.
(Know Before you Buy Online)
What you should know about the procedures
for a missed dose?
Use the missed dose as soon
as you remember. If it is almost time for
the next dose, skip the dose you missed,
and use only the next regularly scheduled
dose.
What you should know about
the procedures for overdose?
If Elidel is ingested, do
immediately get emergency medical care.
Symptoms of a pimecrolimus topical overdose
are not known.
What should I avoid while
using Elidel?
Avoid sunlight and sun lamps,
tanning beds, and treatments with UVA or
UVB light. If you need to be outdoors after
applying pimecrolimus topical, wear loose
clothing that protects the treated area
from the sun. Also, ask your doctor what
other type of protection from the sun may
be needed. Do not cover the area being treated
with bandages, dressings, or wraps. However,
normal clothing can be worn over the treated
areas.
What side effects should
you know about before you buy or use Elidel?
If you experience an allergic
reaction (difficulty breathing; closing
of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue,
or face; or hives), stop using Elidel and
do immediately get emergency medical care.
It is not unusual to experience skin burning,
stinging, itching, or soreness at the site
of application of the medication. These
side effects are most common during the
first few days of treatment and typically
improve as the lesions of atopic dermatitis
heal. Other, less serious but notable side
effects may also occur when using this medication.
Continue to use Elidel and talk to your
doctor if you experience: irritation of
nose and throat; cough; headache; diarrhea,
constipation, or upset stomach; or skin
infection. Side effects other than the ones
that have been listed on this page may also
occur for some people. Talk to your doctor
about any side effect that seems unusual
or that is especially bothersome.
What should I know about drug
interactions before I buy or use Elidel?
Unless otherwise instructed
by your doctor, do not apply any other skin
products on the areas treated with pimecrolimus
topical. Talk to your doctor before taking
another medicine that may affect the immune
system such as oral or injectable tacrolimus
(Prograf), cyclosporine (Neoral, Sandimmune),
mycophenolate mofetil (CellCept), azathioprine
(Imuran), sirolimus (Rapamune), or another
immunosuppressant medication. You may not
be able to use Elidel, or you may require
a dosage adjustment or special monitoring
if you are taking another medicine that
affects the immune system. Although unlikely,
other systemic medications (taken by mouth
or injection) may interact with Elidel.
Talk to your doctor before taking any of
the following medicines during treatment
with pimecrolimus topical: an antifungal
medicine such as ketoconazole (Nizoral),
itraconazole (Sporanox), or fluconazole
(Diflucan); a calcium channel blocker (heart
medicine) such as verapamil (Calan, Verelan),
diltiazem (Cardizem, Dilacor XR, Tiazac),
nifedipine (Adalat, Procardia), or nicardipine
(Cardene); erythromycin (Ery-Tab, E-Mycin,
E.E.S., others), clarithromycin (Biaxin),
or troleandomycin (TAO); or cimetidine (Tagamet,
