FAQs on Taclus 0.03% Ointment

Applying Taclus 0.03% Ointment may cause mild to moderate skin irritation, including burning, itching, redness, warmth, pain, altered sensation, and rash at the application site. These typically subside within a week. Use may also increase the risk of inflamed or infected hair follicles, cold sores, acne, and generalized herpes simplex infections.
Taclus 0.03% Ointment offers safe and effective short-term relief from atopic dermatitis, demonstrating superior safety compared to other immunosuppressants. Minimal systemic absorption after topical application results in fewer side effects than oral treatments.
