Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is treated with Takfa Forte Lotion, which reduces inflammation (skin redness and swelling) by modulating the activity of specific immune cells.

Gently and evenly massage the lotion into the skin. Avoid overuse and do not bandage or cover treated areas. Report any lack of improvement after two weeks or worsening skin condition to your doctor. Common side effects may include erythema, headache, folliculitis, and application site reactions such as burning, irritation, itching, and redness. Unless medically necessary, this medication is generally not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
