Overview Tacrotor 0.03% Ointment

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is treated with Tacrotor 0.03% Ointment, which reduces inflammation (skin redness and swelling) by modulating the activity of specific immune cells. This soothes itching and improves atopic dermatitis rashes. Apply Tacrotor 0.03% Ointment externally, two to four times daily to affected areas, or as directed by your physician. Gently and uniformly rub the ointment into the skin until absorbed. Avoid overuse and avoid covering treated areas with bandages. Report any lack of improvement after two weeks, or skin worsening, to your doctor.

Applying Tacrotor 0.03% Ointment may cause mild to moderate skin irritation, including burning, itching, redness, warmth, pain, altered sensation, and rash at the application site.
