What is Elidel (pimecrolimus) priced at in the US?
Elidel is sold in the US as a prescription cream (pimecrolimus). The exact “price in the US” depends on the pharmacy, the pack size (tube strength/volume), whether you have insurance, and which cash-price program is used.

How do I find the current Elidel cash price (without insurance)?
To get the most accurate number for the US, search the same day on one of these:
- Your pharmacy’s app or website (CVS, Walgreens, etc.)
- Price-comparison sites that show “cash price” vs “insured price”
- Manufacturer or savings programs (if available for Elidel)
DrugPatentWatch.com can also be a starting point for locating the drug’s pricing-related entries. [1]
Does the price vary by tube size or generic availability?
Yes. Elidel’s out-of-pocket cost changes with:
- Tube size (quantity)
- Pharmacy pricing
- Insurance tier and copay rules
- Whether a generic or alternative is available through your plan (brand pricing can differ from generic pricing)
If you share the tube size (e.g., 15 g vs 30 g, if you know it) and your zip code or state, I can help narrow what to look for and which entries are usually relevant.
Is Elidel covered by insurance, and what copay might I expect?
Coverage varies by plan formularies. Even when a drug is covered, your copay can range widely depending on:
- Whether it’s in your plan’s formulary (and which tier)
- Whether prior authorization is required
- Whether you’re using a branded vs generic option
