Tacroz Forte Ointment is used to manage moderate to severe eczema (atopic dermatitis) in adults and children above 2 years. It eases flare-ups by reducing redness, itching, and skin irritation. It is often prescribed when corticosteroid creams do not work well or cause side effects.

Do not change or exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.
Consult your doctor before discontinuing the medication; do not stop taking it without their guidance.
Adhere to the dietary recommendations given by your doctor.
Tacroz Forte Ointment is applied topically.
Tacroz Forte Ointment may cause side effects such as a burning sensation at the application site, skin soreness, itching, redness, flu-like symptoms, acne, and folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles). If these side effects persist, consult your healthcare provider.
Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Tacroz Forte Ointment. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.
Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:
Burning sensation at the application site: Apply Tacroz Forte Ointment on cool skin, rather than immediately after a warm shower or bath.
Itching and redness of skin: Avoid hot showers and harsh soaps after applying the ointment.
Tacroz Forte Ointment contains tacrolimus (0.1 %), which acts on the body in the following ways:
Inhibiting T-cell activation: Tacrolimus works by blocking a particular enzyme in your body called calcineurin phosphatase. This enzyme plays a significant role in activating T-cells, which are a key component of your immune system.
Reducing Inflammation: By inhibiting T-cell activation, tacrolimus effectively manages the immune response that triggers symptoms of eczema such as redness, itching and skin lesions.
Suppressing Production of Inflammatory Cytokines: Tacrolimus also disrupts the production of inflammatory cytokines like interleukin-2 by preventing their transcription factor from functioning properly. These cytokines are substances that can cause inflammation and other immune responses, so suppressing them helps manage eczema symptoms.
If you are pregnant or planning to conceive, caution is advised when considering Tacroz Forte Ointment. It is best to consult your doctor before using this medicine.
For breastfeeding women, use of Tacroz Forte Ointment should be discussed with your doctor to understand the potential risks and benefits.
Alcohol consumption might cause facial flushing or skin redness when applying Tacroz Forte Ointment. It is advisable to limit alcohol intake during the course of this medication.
