Applying Tacensi 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 usually subside within a week. Use may also increase the risk of inflamed or infected hair follicles, cold sores, acne, and herpes simplex infections.
Tacensi 0.1% 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 immunosuppressants.
