Tacrolimus Ointment 0.1% w/w (Generic)

Tacrolimus Ointment 0.1% w/w (Generic) is a prescription topical calcineurin inhibitor designed to manage and relieve the symptoms of moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) and other chronic inflammatory skin conditions. It works by suppressing overactive immune responses in the skin, thereby reducing redness, itching, and inflammation.

Unlike corticosteroid creams, Tacrolimus does not cause skin thinning, making it suitable for sensitive areas such as the face, eyelids, and neck. It is typically prescribed when conventional treatments, such as topical steroids, are ineffective, contraindicated, or not well tolerated.

Key Benefits:

• Provides relief from itching, redness, and inflammation

• Steroid-free treatment option

• Suitable for long-term intermittent use

• Can be applied to delicate skin areas (face, neck, skin folds)

Indications:

• Moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema)

• Other immune-related skin disorders as prescribed by a physician

Directions for Use:
Apply a thin layer of Tacrolimus Ointment 0.1% w/w to the affected skin areas as directed by a healthcare professional. Wash hands before and after use. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or UV light during treatment.

Note: This medication should only be used under medical supervision. Not recommended for children under 16 years unless specifically prescribed.
