TACROZ (Tacrolimus (0.03% w/w))

Tacroz Ointment is indicated for the management of eczema, specifically atopic dermatitis. This formulation functions by inhibiting the activity of certain immune cells responsible for triggering skin inflammation, which manifests as redness and swelling. The result is a reduction in itching sensations and an improvement in the appearance of rashes associated with atopic dermatitis. For application, Tacroz Ointment is intended for external use only and should be applied to the affected areas two to four times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to apply the ointment gently and evenly to the skin, ensuring it is fully absorbed. Users should avoid excessive application and refrain from covering the area with bandages or dressings. If there is no noticeable improvement after two weeks of treatment, or if the condition worsens, it is essential to contact a healthcare provider. While Tacroz Ointment may offer relief, it can also lead to certain common side effects, which include erythema, headaches, inflammation of hair follicles, and localized reactions such as burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. The use of this medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding is generally not advised unless it is deemed necessary by a healthcare provider due to potential risks identified in animal studies.
