INTRODUCTION

TACMOD 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.

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

Do not use TACMOD 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.

Before using TACMOD OINTMENT inform your doctor if you have any other skin disease apart from eczema such as skin cancer, skin infections or lesions at the application site, any inherited skin barrier disease or generalised erythroderma (severe skin redness and scaling).

You must also inform your doctor if you have a weak immune system, liver problems or any autoimmune disease conditions. Consult your doctor before using TACMOD OINTMENT if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

While undergoing therapy with TACMOD OINTMENT, avoid exposing your skin towards direct sunlight or towards any artificial light sources. Wear protective loose-fitting clothes and apply sunscreen while going outdoors. Also, avoid consumption of alcohol as it may make your skin look more flushed.
