FAQs on Zacroli 0.03% Ointment

Zacroli 0.03% Ointment is an immunomodulatory medicine that primarily reduces immune system activity. It treats moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) in adults who haven't responded to, or experience side effects from, steroid treatments.

Applying Zacroli 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.
Zacroli 0.03% Ointment offers safe and effective short-term atopic dermatitis treatment, demonstrating superior safety compared to other immunosuppressants. Minimal systemic absorption after topical application results in fewer side effects than oral treatments.
