Eczema Care - Elidel Cream

Elidel Cream is a steroid free, anti-inflammatory specifically developed for the skin. It is clinically proven to prevent progression to flares. A flare is when atopic eczema suddenly gets worse after being fine for a while. The active ingredient is pimecrolimus which is not a steroid. Pimecrolimus is derived from ascomycin, a natural substance produced by a type of fungus.

Elidel Cream is indicated for the short-term treatment of mild to moderate eczema.
