Overview Tactis 0.1% Ointment

Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is effectively managed with Tactis 0.1% Ointment, which modulates the inflammatory response by reducing the activity of specific immune cells responsible for skin redness and swelling. This alleviates itching and improves rash appearance in atopic dermatitis. Apply Tactis 0.1% Ointment topically, 2-4 times daily to affected areas, or as directed by your physician. Gently and uniformly spread a thin layer until fully absorbed. Avoid excessive application and occlusive dressings. Consult your doctor if symptoms worsen or show no improvement after a fortnight. Common side effects may include redness (erythema), headache, folliculitis, and local reactions such as burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. Use during pregnancy or breastfeeding is generally discouraged unless deemed essential by a healthcare professional.

Applying Tactis 0.1% Ointment topically may cause mild to moderate skin irritation, including burning, itching, redness, warmth, pain, altered sensation, and rash.
