CreamWhat is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Elidel Cream Overview
Pimecrolimus is used to treat certain skin conditions such as eczema (atopic dermatitis) in people who should not use or have not responded to other eczema medications (such as topical steroids). Eczema is an allergic-type condition that causes red, irritated, and itchy skin. Elidel Cream works by changing the skin's defense (immune) system, thereby decreasing the allergic reaction that causes eczema. Pimecrolimus belongs to a class of drugs known as topical calcineurin inhibitors (TCIs). Elidel Cream is not recommended if you have a history of a certain rare genetic disorder (Netherton's syndrome). Also, Elidel Cream should not be used by anyone who has a weakened immune system (such as following an organ transplant).
