[tri-med] Elidel/Mederma

Hi Michelle,

>>If it's steroid free what is is????<<

The main ingredient in Elidel cream is pimecrolimus. The dr gave us a bunch of 
samples to try back in June and I like it for her. She hasn't had any side 
effects from it. Their website is www.elidel.com great info and I think rebate 
available on it(they sent me $5 off script price) and does require a script.

One of her doctor's appt this week is for her weight and will run the high fat 
by him. I have noticed a drop in her appetite. She's not taking in the 3 cans 
of Pediasure like she did prior last weekend before the seizures, nor eating 
solids as before. Neurologist blamed the ceftin, I blame the meds... esp 
tegretol.

>>Do you need a prescription for it or is it OTC?<<

Mederma is over the counter at most stores now. Haven't tried the generic store 
brands, but Mederma is great! Catch it on sale at CVS/Walgreens alot, you can 
pit one store against the other to honor sale price in their ads LOL : ) Ealier 
in the year they offered rebates on it also. Seriously I have seen it on eBay, 
but usually s/h charges urged me to drive to the store.
