Tacrolius 0.03 Ointment 10gm contains tacrolimus (0.03%), which acts on the body as follows:

• Binding to FKBP-12: Tacrolimus first binds with an intracellular protein named FKBP-12.

• Inhibition of Calcineurin: The complex formed by tacrolimus and FKBP-12 inhibits calcineurin, an enzyme that relies on calcium and calmodulin.

• Prevention of NFAT Dephosphorylation: By inhibiting calcineurin, tacrolimus prevents dephosphorylation and translocation of NFAT (Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cells), a key component in the production of inflammatory cytokines.

• Store Tacrolius 0.03 Ointment 10gm at room temperature below 30°C.

• Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.

• Do not be exposed to moisture or excessively dry conditions.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Regularly moisturise your skin, as dryness can intensify itching and inflammation associated with atopic dermatitis.
