Pimecrolimus is a topical cream useful in treating eczema and other inflammatory dermatological conditions. It is a macrolactam immunosuppressive medication, meaning it inhibits the immune system's response to irritants which produces inflammation, swelling, itching, and other symptoms. Patients should not buy pimecrolimus for skin conditions that aren't inflammatory; the medication will have little effect, and may worsen it.

This product can be used in patients as young as 2 years old and up. There are no special treatment factors involved for young children.

When to Buy Pimecrolimus

Pimecrolimus is marketed as a second-line treatment for eczema (atopic dermatitis), meaning it should be utilized only when first-line treatments fail to produce good results or can't be used for some reason, such as patient allergies. In practice, however, some patients do buy pimecrolimus as the first-line treatment; the medication is effective in numerous off-label applications, including:

• Psoriasis
• Vitiligo
• Seborrheic dermatitis
• Lichen planus
• Lupus erythematosus

While it is understood why pimecrolimus clears up symptoms of inflammation---heat, swelling, itching, etc---it's much less clear why the medication is effective at clearing up skin lesions. It does, though; when skin is back to normal is when treatment with pimecrolimus should stop. Treatment may be repeated in the future if the condition returns.

How to Use Pimecrolimus

Ideally pimecrolimus is used at the early signs and symptoms that the condition is developing, though this is rarely possible the first time. The medication will still work if used at later stages, but it might take longer to fully clear the condition up.

Treatment is simple:

• Apply a thin layer of the cream directly onto affected areas of the skin.
• Repeat treatment twice per day.
• Skin should be clean and dry prior to application.
• Avoid applying the cream to open wounds or mucous membranes.
• Avoid covering the application site with tight clothing or airtight dressings.

Moisturizers can be applied to the skin after pimecrolimus has been absorbed, usually after 15 to 30 minutes. Try to not wash the medication off; avoid showering, bathing, or swimming for a few hours after application.

If significant results are not seen within 6 weeks of use, alternative treatments should be considered. It's possible that the condition was misdiagnosed.

Precautions & Adverse Effects

Not everyone is a good candidate for this product; in particular those who have the following should speak with a doctor about risks and warning signs before they buy pimecrolimus:

• Other bacterial infections
• Viral infections
• Immune system problems
• Use of light therapy

As an immunosuppresive medication, pimecrolimus can interfere with the body's healing process when other infections are present, including those that don't impact the skin. It can also make patients more sensitive to light; patients will need to avoid sun lamps, tanning beds, ultraviolet light therapy, and prolonged sun exposure during treatment.

Otherwise, side effects are unlikely beyond the basic mild burning at the application site during the first few applications. This isn't a problem unless it becomes severe or persists beyond the first few days.

The USA's regulatory agency, the FDA, has ordered a black-box warning on pimecrolimus packages stating that the product increases risk of lymph node cancer or skin cancer. This a very disputed topic, with other regulatory agencies and medical associations---including many in the USA---stating there is no evidence to support the FDA's claims.
