Pmec Cream 1% contains Pimecrolimus, a topical immunomodulator used for the treatment of inflammatory skin conditions, particularly atopic dermatitis (eczema). It is especially useful for mild to moderate eczema and is often recommended when topical corticosteroids are not suitable or for sensitive areas such as the face and neck.

Pimecrolimus helps reduce skin inflammation, itching, and redness without the side effects commonly associated with long-term steroid use.
