Overview Acroli Forte Ointment

Forte Acroli ointment provides relief from the inflammation and itching characteristic of eczema (atopic dermatitis). Its mechanism involves modulating immune cell activity responsible for skin redness and swelling. This topical ointment promotes healing and reduces rash severity in atopic dermatitis. Apply thinly and evenly to affected skin 2-4 times daily, or as directed by your physician. Avoid over-application and occlusive dressings. Consult your doctor if symptoms worsen or show no improvement after a fortnight. Potential side effects include redness, headache, folliculitis, and local reactions such as burning, irritation, itching, or inflammation at the application site. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be limited to situations where the benefits clearly outweigh potential risks.
