Tacrotopic 0.1 % Ointment 10 GM is applied topically.

Tacrotopic 0.1 % Ointment 10 GM contains Tacrolimus (1 mg). Here's how this ingredient works:

• Calcineurin Inhibition: Tacrolimus acts by inhibiting an enzyme called calcineurin in your body. This enzyme is involved in activating T-cells, which are a type of white blood cell that plays a role in causing inflammation.

• Reduced Inflammation: By inhibiting calcineurin, tacrolimus interferes with the activation of T-cells and prevents them from releasing inflammatory substances like interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma. This helps control inflammation in the skin and brings relief from the symptoms of eczema.

• Controlled Skin Reactions: The overall effect of Tacrolimus is that it reduces the immune response, which can result in skin inflammation and damage, thereby helping to manage atopic dermatitis or eczema.

• Store Tacrotopic 0.1 % Ointment 10 GM at room temperature, ideally below 25°C.

• Keep it away from direct heat and sunlight. Do not refrigerate or freeze.

• Ensure the tube is tightly closed when not in use.

• Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion.

• Maintaining a balanced diet that promotes skin health can be beneficial if you're diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and using Tacrotopic 0.1 % Ointment 10 GM. Include plenty of fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your meals.

• Regular exercise can help manage stress levels, which is important as stress can trigger or worsen eczema flare-ups. Do at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, like walking or yoga, into your daily routine. However, remember to shower after sweating, as it can irritate your skin.
