Expert advice FOR Tacroz Ointment
- 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.
- Don't cover the area being treated with airtight dressings such as bandages unless directed by a doctor, as this may increase the risk of side effects.

- Continuous long-term use of the ointment should be avoided. Use as prescribed by your doctor.
Frequently asked questions FOR Tacroz 0.03% w/w Ointment
Tacrolimus
Q. What is Tacroz Ointment used for?
Tacroz 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. Tacroz Ointment acts on the abnormal immune response and alters it, thereby relieving the skin inflammation and itchiness.
Q. Is Tacroz Ointment safe?
Compared to other immunosuppressing medicines, Tacroz 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 Tacroz Ointment cause cancer?
Long-term use of Tacroz 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 Tacroz Ointment ointment or another similar medication developed skin cancer or lymphoma. Consult your doctor if you have to use Tacroz Ointment ointment for more than 6 weeks or if your eczema symptoms have not improved or are getting worse with time during your treatment.
