Product Usage

• Elidel should be prescribed by physicians with experience in the topical treatment of atopic dermatitis.
  Apply a thin layer of Elidel to the affected skin twice daily and rub-in gently and completely.
  Each affected region of the skin should be treated with Elidel, until clearance occurs and then treatment should be discontinued.
  Elidel may be used on all skin areas, including the head and face, neck and intertriginous areas except on mucous membranes. Efficacy and safety of topically applied pimecrolimus during occlusion have not been investigated. Pimecrolimus cream should not be applied under occlusion.
• Long-Term Management of Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema): Elidel treatment should begin at 1st appearance of signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis to prevent flares of the disease. Elidel should be used twice daily for as long as signs and symptoms persist. If discontinued, treatment should be resumed upon 1st recurrence of signs and symptoms to prevent flares of the disease.
• Emollients can be applied immediately after using Elidel. However, after a bath/shower emollients should be applied before using Elidel.
  Due to the low level of systemic absorption, there is no restriction either in the total daily dose applied or in the extent of the BSA treated or in the duration of treatment.
• Children: For infants (3-23 months), children (2-11 years) and adolescents (12-17 years), the dosing recommendation is the same as for adults.
• Use in babies <3 months has not been evaluated.
• Elderly: Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is rarely observed in patients ≥65 years. Clinical studies with Elidel did not include a sufficient number of patients in this age range to determine whether they respond differently from younger patients.
