Tacrolimus Ointment Benefits and Side Effects

Tacrolimus Ointment is an immunomodulator and is primarily used to treat moderate to severe atopic dermatitis for which conventional therapies are contraindicated due to the potential risk of non-immune compromise, or for which there has been an inadequate response to, or inability to tolerate, conventional therapies. Side effects of tacrolimus ointment include burning skin sensation, itching, flu-like symptoms, headache, rash, acne, indigestion, and other symptoms. In addition, tacrolimus ointment is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to its ingredients; avoid use in potentially worsening or malignant skin diseases; pregnant and lactating women should use it with caution on balance; and tacrolimus ointment at a concentration of 0.1% is not indicated for pediatric patients. If you need to use tacrolimus ointment, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment, not blindly self-medication.
