INTRODUCTION

BIOMUS FORTE OINTMENT contains Tacrolimus which belongs to the group of medicines called Immunosuppressants. It is used to treat and prevent moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) when other conventional therapies fail to provide adequate results.

Atopic dermatitis is an allergic skin condition that makes your skin itchy, red, dry and irritated. It is characterized by small, raised bumps on the skin with pus accompanied by severe skin itching, redness and inflammation.

BIOMUS FORTE OINTMENT is suitable for use both in adults and children (aged 16 years or older). Apply a thin layer of BIOMUS FORTE OINTMENT on the affected skin areas. You may use your regular skin moisturizer and/or other skin lotions along with BIOMUS FORTE OINTMENT, but make sure to apply them after 2 hours of applying BIOMUS FORTE OINTMENT.

Do not use BIOMUS FORTE OINTMENT for more than the stipulated duration recommended by your doctor. Regularly visit your doctor (once a year or as instructed) for reviewing your condition even if your condition remains under control.

This reduces skin dryness, redness, itching and inflammation associated with auto-immune skin conditions.
