Contains: Tacrolimus (0.03% w/w)
Tacroz Ointment contains Tacrolimus (0.03% w/w) and is used for atopic dermatitis (eczema). Prescription required.
Tacroz Ointment is a prescription medicine containing Tacrolimus (0.03% w/w). It is used for atopic dermatitis (eczema), helps relieve itching and inflammation during flares. It belongs to the group of medicines called Topical calcineurin inhibitor (immunosuppressant).
For external use only. The dose and how long you take it depend on what you are being treated for and how you respond. Do not take more, or for longer, than your doctor has advised.
The side effects seen most often with Tacroz Ointment are burning or stinging at application site, itching, redness and warmth. Most are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. Tell your doctor if one persists or worries you.
Before you start, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problem, whether you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, and every other medicine you take, including supplements and ayurvedic preparations. Some of them can change how Tacroz Ointment works.
Most side effects of Tacroz are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:
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.
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.
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.
Use under medical supervision. Do not use in children below the age advised for the strength (0.03% is generally used in children ≥2 years and adults; follow doctor advice). Avoid use on active viral/bacterial/fungal skin infections (e.g., herpes, chickenpox) until treated. Minimize or avoid excessive sunlight/UV exposure and tanning beds; use protective clothing/sunscreen as advised. Not for use in immunocompromised patients unless doctor directs. Do not apply on malignant or pre-malignant skin lesions. If severe irritation, swelling, or signs of infection occur, stop and consult doctor.
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.
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.
Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Do not freeze. Keep cap tightly closed and protect from heat and excessive light. Keep out of reach of children.
