Applying Laxoderm 0.01% Ointment may cause mild to moderate skin irritation, including burning, itching, redness, warmth, pain, altered sensation, and rash at the application site. These side effects usually subside within a week. Treatment may also increase the risk of folliculitis, cold sores, acne, and herpes simplex infections.
Laxoderm 0.01% Ointment offers safe and effective short-term atopic dermatitis treatment, demonstrating superior safety compared to other immunosuppressants. Its minimal systemic absorption after topical application results in fewer side effects than oral alternatives.
