Same salt, different brand — what does that mean?
A substitute contains the same active ingredient (salt), in the same strength, as Talimus 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 Talimus Ointment
Talimus Ointment contains Tacrolimus (0.1% w/w). It belongs to the Corticosteroid / calcineurin inhibitor class of medicines.
Uses of Talimus Ointment
Treatment of Atopic dermatitis
Benefits of Talimus Ointment
- In Eczema
- Talimus 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
- Talimus settles the red, itchy, inflamed skin of dermatitis, whether from an allergy, irritant or contact with something the skin reacts to.
- In Psoriasis
- Talimus reduces the thickening, scaling and redness of psoriasis plaques and relieves the itch.
- In Skin inflammation and itching
- Talimus relieves itching and inflammation of the skin from insect bites, rashes and reactions, so the skin can settle.
How Talimus Ointment works
Talimus Ointment is an immunosuppressant. It works by suppressing the activity of certain immune cells that cause inflammation (redness and swelling) of the skin. This relieves itching and improves rashes in atopic dermatitis.
How to take Talimus Ointment
This medicine is for external use only. Use it in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area and gently massage the ointment.
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 Talimus 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 Talimus Ointment
Most side effects of Talimus are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
- Burning or stinging
- Thinning of the skin
- Stretch marks
- Acne
- Change in skin colour
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.

Warnings and precautions
Use it only on the area and for the number of days your doctor specified. Potent steroid creams thin the skin permanently when used for too long. Never use a potent steroid cream on the face, the groin or the underarms unless your doctor has specifically told you to — the skin there is thin and absorbs much more. Do not use it on an infection. A steroid on ringworm, impetigo or herpes makes the infection worse while hiding it. Do not use leftover cream on a new rash, and never pass it to someone else. Stop and see your doctor if the area becomes more painful, weepy or crusted.
Do not take Talimus if
Not for anyone with a known allergy to this medicine or to any ingredient in the pack. Not for untreated bacterial, fungal or viral skin infections. Not for use in or around the eyes.
Interactions with other medicines
No significant interactions are expected from preparations used on the skin.
How to store Talimus Ointment
Store below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Close the cap tightly after each use. Keep out of the reach of children.
