Q. What is Talimus LS Ointment used for?
Talimus LS 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. Talimus LS Ointment acts on the abnormal immune response and alters it, thereby relieving the skin inflammation and itchiness.
Q. Is Talimus LS Ointment safe?
Compared to other immunosuppressing medicines, Talimus LS 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 Talimus LS Ointment cause cancer?
Long-term use of Talimus LS Ointment has been found to have an increased risk of lymph node tumors called lymphoma.
