Tacrolimus Ointment

Tacrolimus ointment is a prescription medication used to treat eczema, a skin condition characterized by red, itchy, and inflamed skin. It belongs to a class of medications called calcineurin inhibitors, which work by suppressing the immune system and reducing inflammation in the skin.Tacrolimus ointment is applied topically to the affected area of the skin, usually twice daily. The medication should be gently rubbed into the skin until it is completely absorbed. It is important to use the medication as directed by a healthcare professional, and to avoid applying it to any areas of the skin that are not affected by eczema.
