Tacroz Ointment — Uses, Dosage & Benefits

Tacrolimus (0.03% w/w)

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.

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.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
