  • Tacrolimus is effective at treating eczema (atopic dermatitis) when other treatment options have failed.
  • Apply thinly to affected areas of skin only. Clean the affected area and dry well before applying Tacrolimus. Avoid contact with water after application.
  • Inform your doctor if there's no improvement even after two weeks of treatment, or if the skin gets worse.

Tacrolimus

Q. What is Tacmotop Ointment used for?
Tacmotop Ointment is used to treat moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) in adults who do not respond to steroids or develop side effects when using them. In atopic dermatitis, the skin’s immune system undergoes an overreaction, causing skin inflammation, leading to itchiness, redness, and dryness. Tacmotop Ointment acts on the abnormal immune response and alters it, thereby relieving the skin inflammation and itchiness.
Q. Is Tacmotop Ointment safe?
Compared to other immunosuppressing medicines, Tacmotop Ointment is a safe and effective short-term treatment for atopic dermatitis. When applied to the affected part of the skin, its absorption into the blood and body is minimal. Hence, the side effects are less compared to when taken through the oral route.
Q. Does Tacmotop Ointment cause cancer?
Long-term use of Tacmotop Ointment has been found to have an increased risk of lymph node tumors called lymphoma. Some studies have found that a few patients who used Tacmotop Ointment ointment or another similar medication developed skin cancer or lymphoma. Consult your doctor if you have to use Tacmotop Ointment ointment for more than 6 weeks or if your eczema symptoms have not improved or are getting worse with time during your treatment.
