Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Tacroz Ointment. The brand name, manufacturer, inactive ingredients and price can differ, and so can release form, so a substitute is not automatically interchangeable.
All medicines sold in India, branded or generic, must meet the quality standards set by the national drug regulator (CDSCO). A lower price does not mean lower quality.
Please confirm with your doctor or pharmacist before switching brands — they will check that the strength and form match your prescription.
Composition of Tacroz Ointment
Tacroz Ointment contains Tacrolimus (0.03% w/w). It belongs to the Topical calcineurin inhibitor (immunosuppressant) class of medicines.
Uses of Tacroz Ointment
- Atopic dermatitis (eczema)
- Helps relieve itching
- Inflammation during flares
Benefits of Tacroz Ointment
- In Eczema
- Tacroz calms the inflammation behind an eczema flare, quickly reducing the redness, itch and weeping so the skin can heal and the scratch-itch cycle is broken.
- In Dermatitis
- Tacroz settles the red, itchy, inflamed skin of dermatitis, whether from an allergy, irritant or contact with something the skin reacts to.
- In Psoriasis
- Tacroz reduces the thickening, scaling and redness of psoriasis plaques and relieves the itch.
- In Skin inflammation and itching
- Tacroz relieves itching and inflammation of the skin from insect bites, rashes and reactions, so the skin can settle.
How Tacroz Ointment works
Tacrolimus is a topical calcineurin inhibitor that suppresses activation of T-lymphocytes and reduces release of inflammatory cytokines in the skin. This decreases inflammation, redness and itching associated with eczema without causing steroid-related skin thinning.
How to take Tacroz Ointment
For external use only. Apply a thin layer to affected skin as prescribed (commonly twice daily during flares) and rub in gently. Can be used with or without food; avoid applying on infected skin and avoid occlusive dressings unless advised. Wash hands after use; avoid contact with eyes, mouth and mucous membranes; moisturizers may be used but typically applied after tacrolimus as advised.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
Missed dose and overdose
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Tacroz Ointment, apply it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule.
If you take too much
An overdose of this medicine can suppress the body's own steroid production when it is used for a long time over large areas, especially in children. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.
Side effects of Tacroz Ointment
Most side effects of Tacroz are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Burning or stinging at application site
- itching
- redness
- warmth
- skin irritation
- folliculitis
- acne
- headache
- increased sensitivity to sun
- skin infection (worsening)
Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
