This relieves itching and improves rashes in atopic dermatitis. Pimecrolimus 1% Topical is used for external use.

You should not use it too often and you should not cover the treated area with a bandage or plaster. You must inform your doctor if there's no improvement even after two weeks of treatment or if the skin gets worse. It is a safe medicine with few side effects, but you may get an application site reaction like burning, irritation, itching and redness. This medicine is not normally recommended during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless it is clearly needed. Pimecrolimus 1% Topical is an immunosuppressant.
