Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is treated with Tacrolimus 0.1% Ointment, which reduces inflammation (skin redness and swelling) by modulating the activity of specific immune cells.

Consult your doctor if symptoms worsen or show no improvement after a fortnight.

FAQs on Pangraf 0.1% Ointment

Pangraf 0.1% Ointment is an immunosuppressant used to treat moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) in adults. It's prescribed for those who don't respond to, or experience side effects from, steroid treatments. Atopic dermatitis involves an overactive immune response causing skin inflammation, itchiness, redness, and dryness. Pangraf 0.1% Ointment works by modulating this immune overreaction, thus reducing inflammation and itch.
Applying Pangraf 0.1% 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 inflamed or infected hair follicles, cold sores, acne, and generalized herpes simplex infections.
Pangraf 0.1% Ointment offers a safe and effective short-term treatment for atopic dermatitis, demonstrating superior safety compared to other immunosuppressant medications. Minimal systemic absorption after topical application results in fewer side effects than oral administration.
Pangraf 0.1% Ointment is not a controlled substance because it lacks abuse potential. Controlled substances require authorization from medical professionals and relevant authorities due to their risk of misuse.
Prolonged use of Pangraf 0.1% Ointment may increase the risk of lymphoma (a type of lymph node tumor). Studies have linked use of Pangraf 0.1% Ointment, or similar medications, to a small number of skin cancer and lymphoma cases. Consult your doctor if using Pangraf 0.1% Ointment for over six weeks, or if your eczema symptoms worsen or fail to improve.
Pangraf 0.1% Ointment is a non-steroidal medication that modifies the immune system, treating eczema, particularly atopic dermatitis. Unlike steroids, it avoids side effects such as skin thinning.
