Tacrolimus

Ointment

This ointment contains Tacrolimus, a topical calcineurin inhibitor used for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. It works by suppressing immune responses in the skin, thereby reducing inflammation, redness, and itching. Unlike topical steroids, Tacrolimus does not cause skin thinning, making it suitable for long-term use and for application on delicate skin areas. It helps restore the skin barrier and provides effective relief from eczema symptoms.
