Tacrolimus Ointment

Overview

Key Benefits & Features

• Steroid-Free Anti-Inflammatory Action: Provides effective relief from chronic skin inflammation without causing skin thinning (atrophy), a common side effect associated with prolonged steroid use.
• Reduces Itching & Redness: Calms hyperactive skin immune responses to rapidly soothe persistent itching, scaling, erythema (redness), and swelling.
• Targeted Calcineurin Inhibitor: Works locally by blocking calcineurin, an enzyme responsible for activating T-cells that trigger eczema flare-ups.
• Restores Skin Barrier: Promotes healing of cracked or compromised skin patches while preventing future flare-ups.

How It Works

Indications

• Moderate to severe Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)
• Resistant inflammatory skin patches on delicate areas (e.g., face, neck, fold areas) where steroids are contraindicated.

1. Clean and thoroughly dry the affected area.
2. Apply a thin layer of Tacrocruz Forte Ointment twice daily or as directed by a dermatologist.
3. Gently rub in until absorbed.
