Starting at:
Pimecrolimus cream (Elidel®) is a prescription topical immunomodulator commonly prescribed for the treatment of mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema), particularly in patients who cannot tolerate or do not require topical corticosteroids. It works by inhibiting calcineurin, a protein involved in the immune response, which helps reduce skin inflammation, redness, and itching.
Unlike corticosteroid creams, pimecrolimus does not cause thinning of the skin, making it suitable for delicate areas such as the face, neck, and skin folds. It is often prescribed for flare-up control and may also be used intermittently as maintenance therapy to help prevent symptoms from returning.
How to Use:
Typically prescribed as a thin layer applied to affected areas twice daily.
Hands should be washed before and after application (unless treating the hands directly).
Do not apply to broken or infected skin unless directed by a healthcare provider.
May be used intermittently at the first sign of symptoms to prevent worsening of eczema.
Black Box Warning:
Pimecrolimus cream carries a boxed warning due to a potential risk of malignancy (including skin cancer and lymphoma) associated with long-term use of topical calcineurin inhibitors. While a direct causal relationship has not been established, continuous long-term use is not recommended. The cream should be used only as directed, and patients should avoid excessive sun exposure during treatment.
Important Notes and Warnings:
Not typically prescribed for children under 2 years of age unless specifically directed by a healthcare provider.
This medication is not a substitute for corticosteroids in cases of severe or uncontrolled eczema.
Common side effects may include mild burning, stinging, or irritation at the site of application, particularly at the start of therapy.
Avoid tanning beds and limit natural sun exposure; protective clothing and sunscreen are recommended.
Patients should inform their provider if they have a weakened immune system, active skin infection, or history of cancer.
Pimecrolimus cream side effects may include:burning or a feeling of warmth at the application site, headache, common cold or stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, flu, fever, or viral infection.

Testimonials
Thank you Telrx for creating this company. It's so hard to get doctor's appointments! For common ailments, we usually know what we need before we go to the doctor's office...this saves so much time, money and headache! Thank You!!
Great service. No more waiting for an appointment for the medication I've been taking for quite a while, with much success. Received doctor approval and the medication was shipped to me without any delays.
I was hesitant, but everything about the experience was very positive. From requesting the medication to receiving it was quick and easy. From time of order to receipt was only 2 days. Very happy and will not hesitate to use in the future.
Where was this place all my life? No costly doctor's appts where you have to get a referral through Kaiser then drive then wait. Got an eczema cream for my daughter in 5 mins. Will be back
