PATIENT INFORMATION
Patients using Elidel should receive the following information
and instructions:
• Patients should use Elidel Cream as directed by the physician. Elidel
Cream is for external use on the skin only. As with any topical medication,

an area for treatment.
• Patients should minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial
sunlight (tanning beds or UVA/B treatment) while using Elidel Cream.
• Patients should not use this medication for any disorder other than
that for which it was prescribed.
• Patients should report any signs or symptoms of adverse reactions to
their physician.
• Therapy should be discontinued after signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis
have resolved. Treatment with Elidel should be resumed at the first signs
or symptoms of recurrence.
• Use of Elidel may cause reactions at the site of application such as
a mild to moderate feeling of warmth and/or sensation of burning. Patients
should see a physician if an application site reaction is severe or persists
for more than 1 week.
• The patient should contact the physician if no improvement in the atopic
dermatitis is seen following 6 weeks of treatment, or if at any time the condition
worsens.
